I'm not a big fan of Thinking of other shapes with an obtuse angle, I came up with "roof", but it's not really a good name either (especially given that these roofs (rooves?) would be sideways)... |
Well, I wouldn't say entirely different. In any case, that symbol is in the "legacy computing" block of unicode, and therefore highly specialized. I don't think there's any danger in creating conflicts here. I didn't take it out of thin air by the way. They can literally be called chevrons. See e.g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket#Angle_brackets and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chevron (meaning 5.) |

With #86 merged, this can now use the dedicated deprecation syntax for variants. |

Currently, we had two entirely different families of symbols under
angle
. Namely all the angle brackets, and the geometry kind. I've renamed the brackets to chevron, which is an alternate name for them that someone suggested. At the same time, I moved the remaining angles to the "Geometry" section.For consistency, I also renamed
quote.angle
toquote.chevron
.
