Or was that supposed to be composition of a constructor with a function, A . f? Function composition, and higher order functions in general are likely to confuse an imperative programmer, but I think there isn't much syntax can do there.
I think there is a problem with too much overloaded syntax. Perhaps it is time to put non-ASCII characters to good use? For instance, function composition could use the degree sign: ° and leave the . for module qualification. Template Haskell could use double-angle quotation marks: « » and the section sign: § and avoid clashing with list comprehensions and the function application operator. Implicit parameters could use an inverted question mark: ¿ And so on, just look for places where the semantics depend on spaces in the right (or wrong) place. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
