Comment:

 Dear porges

 Sorry that we've been playing dead on this.

 We don't have an opinion either way, but it's not entirely clear to us
 that everyone would welcome such a change; eg they might want to use em-
 dash in an operator.

 Could you initiate a thread on glasgow-haskell-users to see if other
 Unicode-aware folk actively want the change?  If so, we'll apply it.  A
 final patch would be useful; and it should include documentation in 7.3.1
 of the user manual.

 Thanks

 Simon
