what happans? from all this considered as for all that i see this one
seems best


as to adding i dont know last years i dont write my compiler,
as to imposing also no but i just make a conclusion ;c

as to typing install auto hot key 2 and you may create new script
paste it

^=::SendText("≔")


as a contest of this script and then control+= will gnerate this

as to visibility i think its only dependant on which font you use
for example notepad uses consolas and in this font its look quite good 
for me (as i said imo better than oryginal = )
