This has been mentioned before but didn't have it's own ticket.
The following where mentioned in #2978, but the respective patch did not
include them:
* For TemplateHaskell: `⟦ ⟧` (MATHEMATICAL _ WHITE SQUARE BRACKET) can be
used instead of `[| |]`
* For Generics: `⦃ ⦄` (_ WHITE CURLY BRACKET) can be used instead of `{|
|}`
* For Arrows: `⦇ ⦈` (Z NOTATION _ IMAGE BRACKET) can be used instead of
`(| |)`
Banana brackets were then suggested in #10162 and implemented in
Phab:D2012 (which has been accepted, but has not yet landed).
