I am trying to make an arrow with a forked tail which will be used
in math model. Such arrows are used in category theory quite frequently
and look like this >----->. I am using \longrightarrow to make the
arrow but can not get its tail right. The tail should be like '>' symbol but
small. I tried using \scriptstyle but this places the tail a little
below where it should be. \raisebox does not help too. 

Is there a way -- I am sure there is -- to get this right?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Rakesh
