I wonder how hard it would be to reprogram one function key to the be
the Unicode character for =>, another function key to be the Unicode
character for <-, and still another function key the Unicode character
for ->. That would make for a bit prettier code, and one could argue
it would make for more "functional" programming. Sorry about that last
one, but having some kind of downloadable file that would reprogram
function keys to make scala programming quicker might be useful.
