Personally, I don't find it "more readable"; on the one hand, it's one cha=
racter shorter; on the other, it stands out less from everything else=2E

My personal bias against it is that I'm too used to reading \ as "escape",=
 so every time I see examples my first reaction is "what does an escaped pa=
renthesis mean?" I'm sure I'd get used to it, but I prefer "fn" because it =
more immediately makes me think "function"=2E
