That's why I didn't mean it as a "blocker" for the ~ symbol, but more like a thing to consider for the case the discussion would end up with deciding between ==> and ~> with no real "preference". I'm sorry if it did look differently. :) Personally, I don't have an issue with writing either of those variants and would be fine with either in the end (I can write ==> a little bit faster and comfortably - since I can write it with just one hand - but the difference is not THAT big), but I thought it's worth mentioning.
