Though being reserved for return statements, the upArrow ^ could perfectly be accepted as a character composing a binary selector, like the verticalBar | already is.<br>

I think that it would be a massive cognitive overload when reading code. The return signifier needs to be a unique artefact, whatever it is.<br>
<br>
foo bar blah ^ ribbet factorial<br>
<br>
Quick - is that correct code or should there be a ‘.’ in front of the ^ ? Will it crash the spaceship?<br>
<br>
I wish we still had a proper up arrow rather than a caret, not to mention the proper left arrow assign instead of the nonsensical Pascal :=.<br>

That solves the problem, but it makes another. We lose underscore character with that change. :)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
