The "survey of Haskell unicode support" might have some advice,
http://blog.kfish.org/2007/10/survey-haskell-unicode-support.html
See also -XUnicodeSyntax for enabling unicode keywords for -> <- forall
et al.
This is turning into an FAQ, so clarifying the unicode support in the
GHC user's guide would be a good result.
