Um... Does anybody else find it interesting that we are "showing the beauty of Haskell" by attempting to construct the most terse, cryptic, unmaintainable tangle of point-free code that the combined mindpower of the entire mailing list can produce? Yes, there is much to be said for the power and brevity of Haskell. But you *can* go over the top here, people! o_O Keep it short _yet comprehensible_, IMHO.
