OK I back up. I justed wanted it to happen for a moment :)

You're right, ambiguity in parsing and a lot of whitespace-dependency are things to avoid.

I like to think that Haskell is a language where aesthetics matter.  So,
in my opinion this is indeed a horrible consequence.

I find mixing of symbols and letters in identfiers to be in itself
aesthetically inferior, and there's already more than enough
whitespace-dependent parsing warts in Haskell.
