You can even approach 0 from left and right simultaneously:

    while (a -->> k --> 0 <-- b <<-- c)

and you can have dashed arrows too:

    k = a <- - - - - b;

In the dashed case, k is going to be zero or one (a<b is true or false). This works, though:

        int a=0, b=4;

        while(a < - - - - --b) {
                printf("b: %d\n", b);
        }

I just spent an hour constructing a class called Morse such that this outputs "HELLO WORLD!":

    Morse m;
    cout << (++++m) << (+m) << (+-++m) << (+-++m) << (---m) << ", "
         << (+--m) << (---m) << (+-+m) << (+-++m) << (-++m) << "!\n";

Damn you, C++! Why won't you let me overload the . operator? ;-)

this is beautiful AND insane bravo
