I'd really like to find a better operator name than ==>. But I'm not
convinced one exists.

While I don't like the inconsistency between ==> or whatever and the use
of => in type input and output, I regard the text representation as being
much harder to change safely, since client code will be parsing it. In this
case the inconsistency seems like a much smaller problem than changing the
text representation.
