Some references state that the monoid binary operation is often named "dot" or "times" in english. That does not mean the operator must be `dot`, `times`, (<.>) or (<x>) but at least the doc should provide a single, consistent and pronounceable name for it, whatever its spelling.
That is the problem when changing a function into an operator: the pronunciation. There should be a page somewhere that sums up how to pronounce the most common operators.
= is "bind", ok, but how do you pronounce >> or <*>, for instance?
