For me, none. I'll happily agree that, all other things being equal, it's more natural (and more consistent with other languages) to have < correspond to the signaling operation, and in a new language that's probably what I'd go for. But as a *change* to existing behaviour in a language that's been widely adopted for numerical work, the risk of breakage seems to me to outweigh any benefits. |
