It's great! My only gripe is the use of alphanumeric characters.
Line numbers increasing by prime powers of two, but the file is executed in reverse... brilliant.
You left out <==> (less than, equal to, or greater than operator).
Can you add support for UTF8 characters? I really need to write my code in Mongolian
Or how about function call-me's, as opposed to function calls? functionName<-() results in functionName calling the function that encloses the call-me.
