I think that since infix notation always takes two parameters, the compiler
handles parameter swapping to match the unfilled argument for convenience.
Not sure where this would be described in a spec though.

What sort of beast is ( / 8) in Haskell? It looks like it is a function that divides a number by 8.
*Main> ( / 8 ) 4 0.5
*Main> let a = ( / 8 ) *Main> a 4 0.5
-- Yup that works.
Does ( / 8 ) turn into a function that takes an argument, so that the "left" input to the /, becomes a right input to the function? What precedence rule is being followed here?
Thanks,
Marc
