Description

<#> is an operator alias for mapFlipped in PureScript, which is just the standard map aka <$> with its arguments swapped. Basically <#> is the mirror twin of <$>, which already has a ligature.

I know PureScript is (arguably) a pretty niche language, but I think a <#> ligature would look really cool. Maybe connect the tips of the < >'s with the horizontal lines of the #?

Anyway, I would really appreciate you adding this, but feel free to close this issue if you think <#> is too uncommon to have a ligature for it.
