The operator "-->" certainly is a very good symbol for many things. I
think the reason it isn't used more has less to do with weather "--"
is useful in symbols, and more to do with the fact that "-- " is
de-facto used as the line-comment and people try to avoid naming their
operators in ways which may confuse people (and syntax highlighing in
some editors :-))
