Re: [Haskell-cafe] Language simplicity

Thus speaketh the report (http://haskell.org/onlinereport/lexemes.html):

symbol   ->      ascSymbol | uniSymbol ascSymbol       ->      ! | # | $ | % | & | * | + | . | / | < | = | > | ? | @        |       \ | ^ | | | - | ~ uniSymbol        ->      any Unicode symbol or punctuation

Punctuation characters are legitimate for operators.

Aha, didn't know that (or forgot it). Also kind of obvious when you consider that '.' and ':' are punctuation characters. I think it is time for an Obfuscated Haskell Contest :-)
