I'd be curious to know if you had any numbers on the usages of inequalities versus bitwise and structural dereferencing operations.

I'd be very, very surprised if inequalities was used less often.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the work you put into the font and it looks very nice but that part of your post struck me

i meant programming in general, not just C.

the inequalities would probably be more common than bitwise/pointer usage in C, most because of for loops, i guess.

but if you consider all the other languages i listed, it is obviously not the case, especially in Haskell and even HTML.
