Some newer languages are taking advantage of the
expressiveness of Unicode for math purposes. I believe
somone on this list asked whether this might provide a way
forward. Can it (taking a long view)? For example, it
would be natural to use as operators the Unicode
multiplication sign U+00D7 (×) and the Unicode dot operator
U+22C5 (·).
