[Haskell-cafe] Composition Operator

Hi (.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> (a -> c) While I understand the purpose and the semantics of the (.) operator I'm not sure about the above definition. Is the definition interpreted sequentially - (.) is a fun taht takes a fun of type (b -> c) and returns another fun of type (a -> b) etc? Any ideas? Thanks, Paul
