In Mac Lane's "Categories for the Working Mathematician" I came across an arrow accented above with a dot, indicating a natural transformation. I failed to find an existing symbol for this. It looks something like
$$\overset{\bullet}{\longrightarrow}$$
but the dot is smaller and close to the arrow. I want to avoid if possible constructing a custom symbol. Does something like this exist? DeteXify could not find one.

This is similar to Mico's, but doesn't use
\ooalign
, since an approach without overlapping rules seems better:This won't scale in sub/superscripts, but I can't see this as a real limitation. The commented line shows where to act for raising or lowering the dot. The second arrow is just for comparison.
