@dibblego How about identifier name *remembering*? Can't "relevant" names help people remember meaning once they understand the types?

@bvenners Yes and \/ is quite well established to denote logical disjunction.

@dibblego That's true about \/, maybe not so much about \/-, -\/, <<?, :?>>, |||, +++, and @\?/. Hard for users to remember all of them.

@bvenners @dibblego Anecdotally, \/, \/-, and -\/ are all well understood by a team I work with of 20+. Some of those others, not so much.

@mpilquist @bvenners ||| is established unlike "orElse" which has ambiguous meaning in scala. The naming obsession is way out of control.

@dibblego @bvenners Of the ones Bill listed, ||| is probably next most obvious. I agree with naming obsession in general though. Witness \@/

@mpilquist @bvenners you'll also notice that there is no obsession with calling it "add" and not + again due to familiarity.
