We started with 4 suggestions, and as far as I can tell, are left with only one (<- ...).
For the record, my comments on (<- ...) where not objections, but merely "thoughts out loud", and I could certainly see myself using that syntax in a day to day basis.
Right, I definitely didn't read your post as objecting to the syntax. I do have concerns about it. In particular, the section-like syntax suggests to me (quite misleadingly) that it is somewhat self-contained. I find myself half expecting to be able to rewrite (mapM f xs) as (map (<- f) xs), or something like that. In other words, the syntax lies to me. At the moment, though, I can't think of anything better. -- Chris Smith
