Re: [Haskell-cafe] Desugaring of infix operators is (always?) the wrong way round

I'm wondering if anyone can shed light on the reason why

x # y

gets desugared to

(#) x y

and not

(#) y x

Can anyone think of an example where the current desugaring of infix arguments gives the correct order when the function is used in a postfix application? (apart from commutative functions of course!)

Sorry I meant to write "*prefix* application"
