G'day all.

Quoting John Meacham :

...

(+>) seems to imply to me that the operator is non-associative. Something like (<>) or (<+>) would be better.

I tend to agree. Moreover, and I realise this may be a losing battle, I want (++) to be the generic operator.

I totally agree. (+>) is too asymmetric for my taste, like (>>=) and (*>) it suggests asymmetry between the arguments. (++) is symmetric and suggests an associative operator to me. -- Jochem Berndsen | jochem@functor.nl GPG: 0xE6FABFAB
