Add conceal/prettify feature to optionally display code as unicode symbols #106

Closed mgttlinger closed 8 years ago

mgttlinger commented 8 years ago

Many people enjoy reading operators/operations as their Unicode symbol known from mathematics, however it is somewhat inconvenient to write those symbols.

This is where the prettify feature of Emacs comes to the rescue (in other editors often called "conceal"). It allows us to write our comparisons for example as >= as usual but seeing ≥ in the editor. (Note that in the source it will still be >=).

I would like to have a default configuration for these replacements in ensime/scala-mode that you can enable or disable.

I will try to create a PR with a few common rules.
