(In fact, maybe for haskell' "$" could be changed to a keyword.)

Alternatively the # symbol could be removed from the pool of symbol chars and used to construct syntactic sugar so you could use

f = id #$ \_ -> []

to mean exactly

f = id (\_ -> [])

For this case "#$" would not be needed when you could write: f = id \ _ -> [] A keyword "#$", if one really wanted it, would make sense to replace the infix application "id $ g x" with (the prefix expr) "id #$ g x", though. Cheers Christian
