I like that idea. When I was first learning Haskell, I remember
spending a non-trivial amount of time trying to figure out what '$'
did. I incorrectly assumed that it was provided by some library. '!'
and '~' would certainly be other good candidates for this kind of a
page. These types of things can be pretty hard to google.

Here's an idea... maybe we should make a small page on the Wiki explaining what all the various symbols in Haskell mean?
There are a couple which are rare enough that most tutorials don't mention them that often. And there are of course symbols which mean different things in different contexts. (I especially love how curly braces are used for overriding layout *and* for named fields...)
