It's not something that belongs in an extension. Rather, it should be
in the main language.
Let's say you want to write f (\x -> x) (\y -> y) and forget the parentheses.
How would you parse the following under ArgumentBlock:
f \x -> x \y -> y?

People saying "it just saves a character" seems to have completely missed my point and source code readability/refactoring options from a tool's perspective. It does more than save a character.
Let's look at it from the opposite direction. If "ArgumentBlock" were already the default then we could remove complexity from the grammar for the cost of a single character. That sounds like a great tradeoff to me, and is the reason I can't support ArgumentBlock.
