Personally, I think i'd prefer the identifiers to be renamed to
something more sensible than \uXXXX.  Would it be possible to use
an escape character and the *name* of the glyph/symbol instead?

I'm also not very happy with backslash for escaping (outside of
strings/char constants), since it's used for lambda (somebody pointed
out this and other problems in a previous mail).

        sin :: Float -> Float
        sin =AEtheta =3D sqrt (1-(cos =AEtheta)=B2)

Or something like that?

-kzm
--=20
