Summary: Unicode alternatives for common functions and operators

Description: 

This package defines new symbols for a number of functions, operators and
types in the base package.

All symbols are documented with their actual definition and information
regarding their Unicode code point. They should be completely
interchangeable with their definitions.

For further Unicode goodness you can enable the @UnicodeSyntax@ language
extension \[1\]. This extension enables Unicode characters to be used to
stand for certain ASCII character sequences, i.e. → instead of @->@,
∀ instead of @forall@ and many others.

Original idea by Péter Diviánszky.
