I like this thinking as well. I kind of wish Haskell didn't overload operators to begin with but oh well :-)
Just because the compiler can figure out what I mean because it has a great type system, I might not be able to figure out what I mean a year from now if I see ++ everywhere.
In some sense, I prefer misleading function names to overly overloaded operators.
