Full Unicode support in Intellisense
f#

Hi,

I have really enjoyed using Unicode symbols in function definitions so:

1
2

let Σ x = x |> Seq.fold(fun sum x -> sum + x) 0.0
Σ [0.0 .. 10.0]

however Intellisense doesn't seems supported for these functions. Furthermore it seems Fsi doesn't support Unicode either. I hope some thought has been given to this issue.

warmest regards,

Danny

.

I agree that it is nice to be able to use Unicode and I also like it that infix operators can be conveniently redefined inside a function body. E.g. I've been using

let (@) theta1 theta2 = ....
to express 'concatenation' of the substitutions theta1 and theta2.

I've also been thinking about how it would be like if some kind of a LaTeX notation was supported by an IDE.
We all know that code is read many times more than it is written and it would be nice if theta1 (or theta_1 or \theta_1) could be simply displayed like θ<sub>1</sub>.
