I like the general idea to represent variable argument functions as infix function applications, but I wouldn't like a purely syntactical solution that adds no real new functionality
Well, it adds the functionality that it adds. Do notation, if/then/else, "where" syntax, bang patterns, etc. are "purely syntactical solutions that add no real new functionality" by this measure. Some of the best language features are made by a simple transformation.
