If the interface is not under your control, make yourself comfortable with the complete arrow syntax, most notably how it handles operators, combinators and the `(| banana bracket notation |)`. This is very valuable information.
Interesting. I hadn't noticed the `(| banana bracket notation |)` on the GHC Arrows page[1] before, but just saw it when I went back to check.
The banana brackets can be handy when you have operations on your arrow type beyond the ones in Arrow and ArrowLoop. But beware that the types of the operations you can use with it will be changing in the next release of GHC. The change is the first one described on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ArrowNotation
