I hate the idea of voting for features, but since it might have some affect on the language, I will add my opinion to the heap. ::: - Bad, because it's three characters. : - Good, because it's one character, and it does not look like something else. \ - It's one character, but it looks like division/escape sequence. Plus, it will raise syntactic hell in some editors. Radical idea: 1) Use :. 2) Make : to work like ::. 3) Make : to work like ->. 4) But no one will agree to it anyway, so I stop here.
