Description

in linear haskell, ->. is used as the linear version of the standard arrow ->. this bugs me + others as it doesn’t look anything like the inherent mathematical symbol (U+22B8 MULTIMAP ).
visually speaking, it’s a stretch, so if it’s too jarring perhaps keep the tip the arrow for a ->o-style thing with the tip de-emphasized

while being an extremely small use case, it would make the lives of three people out there slightly more beautiful
