You can define a function without listing some or all of its arguments by specifying it in terms of another function. So all you really need to write is, e.g.,
cadr = car . cdr
caddr = car . cadr
cadar = car . cdr . car
etc...

How do I create an alias for a function, like giving CAR the same functionality as HEAD. I know I can do it by creating a definition (see below), but is there a better way, like Scheme's
(define head car)
car :: [a] -> a
car x = head x
The reason for doing this is to more closely mirror legacy code.
