I wanted to see how long this thread would go before someone linked to
the old stuff. :-)

Despite turning up repeatedly, the issue has never been put to bed. I
suspect it is the name. There has been no consensus, as this thread
demonstrates. I vote for one I haven't seen yet. `=>`. It's two
characters and in the style of the other threaders.

I'm torn on the binding form. On one hand, it is misleading because [x
1 y 2] is illegal. But something [[x y] (function-that-returns-a-
pair ...)] could be handy for threading through a series of functions
that return pairs.
