Isn't there a potential for confusion with function composition (f . g)?
Perhaps, but I always have spaces on either side when it's function composition.
Good for you. Syntax that changes depending on spacing is my number one gripe with the Haskell syntax. And too many infix operators and symbolic elements are on the list as well. How about a pair of (magical, if necessary) functions called set and get? Letting you do something like x `set` first 4 `set` second "foo" ? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
