Some people use $\langle \cdot \rangle $ as a shorthand of $\text{span}$ (e.g. the German wiki), i.e.
$$\langle \{ v_1, \ldots,v_n \} \rangle := \text{span}\{v_1, \ldots,v_n\},$$
yet the notation seems to be suboptimal due to its similarity with the inner product.
Is there any handy notation for $\text{span}\{v_1, \ldots,v_n\}$ which doesn't conflict with any another notation in linear algebra?
Here is what I've tried: $[v_1, \ldots,v_n]$ seems to be simple and vacant.
