All the replacements for operator tokens (including `∷`) that I have
proposed so far replace existing tokens that fall in that category and
that then would be the natural digraph replacements for these.

For `⟦` and `⟧` the difference is that they officially do not replace
a single token but two tokens, so lexing would be a bit different. But
according to Aaron (if I understood correctly) current C++ prohibits
the use of `[` `[` in a row that are not starting an attribute (=UB
for allowing extensions). So we will probably also get this for C and
I would add a recommendation that users don't put spaces between
these and put parenthesis around lambda expressions when they are used
in an array bound or array access.

Thanks
Jens
