Seriously though, using anything non-ASCII in source code is a bad idea, because there are lots of fonts and editors in the world.
It seems natural to me to have (`-`2) stand for (flip (-) 2), if only that would be made legal syntax, just as (`foldl`0) stands for (flip (foldl) 0).
Or you could use the "subtract" function.
map (subtract 2) [3,4,5] [1,2,3]
I don't think syntax sugar is worth it in this case. Luke
