I'm sorry you think so. Why do you think these use cases are incomplete? <o:p></o:p></p>

- a use case where the lack of a Unicode solution forces the developer to implement more complex conditional logic. Note that if they had chosen a different character like U+22B6 Original Of, then the extra logic would not have been needed.
<a href="https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=22B6">https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=22B6</a> There is no good reason why arrow characters, when used as operators, should require more code than other operators.<o:p></o:p></p>
