No, no, no. Josh and I just decided that it has already been taken as 
the "eventual assign operator" in Croquet. It means that the variable 
may or may not be assigned to and you're not supposed to care about 
whether it was assigned or not. Best used with combination with unused 
temporary variables! ;-)

PS. For other fancy arrows check
