+They should be completely interchangeable with their definitions.  For
+further Unicode goodness you can enable the @code{UnicodeSyntax}
+@url{https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exs.html#unicode-syntax,
+language extension}.  This extension enables Unicode characters to be used to
+stand for certain ASCII character sequences, i.e. → instead of @code{->},
+∀ instead of @code{forall} and many others.")
