+ <longdescription>
+ This package defines new symbols for a number of functions,
+ operators and types in the base package.
+
+ All symbols are documented with their actual definition and
+ information regarding their Unicode code point. They should be
+ completely interchangeable with their definitions.
+
+ For further Unicode goodness you can enable the @UnicodeSyntax@
+ language extension \[1\]. This extension enables Unicode characters
+ to be used to stand for certain ASCII character sequences,
+ i.e. &amp;#x2192; instead of @-&gt;@, &amp;#x2200; instead of @forall@ and many
+ others.
+
+ Original idea by P&amp;#xE9;ter Divi&amp;#xE1;nszky.
