You still have a major problem: How do you type that? It gives you very little advantage over the word "lambda", it introduces readability issues, it's impossible for most people to type (and programming with a palette of arbitrary syntactic tokens isn't my idea of fun), it's harder for a new programmer to get docs for (especially if s/he reads the file in the wrong encoding), and all in all, it's a pretty poor substitute for a word.
