I've thought for a while that it would be very nice indeed if the Monoid class had a more concise operator for infix appending than "a `mappend` b". I wonder if other people are of a similar opinion, and if so, whether

+1.
IIRC Jules Bean has proposed using (+>) for this purpose, which I like.

I actually think this proposal is pretty excellent.
