Case in point (only slightly contrived) -- which one is easier to visually parse to you:
foo (thInt $ fromIntegral $ c2hsValueInt cexp) (thInt $ fromIntegral $ c2hsValueInt cexp)
foo (thInt (fromIntegral (c2hsValueInt cexp))) (thInt (fromIntegral (c2hsValueInt cexp)))
You can always denest by naming subexpressions. e.g. let subexpr = thInt (fromIntegral (c2hsValueInt cexp))) in foo subexpr subexpr or let subexpr = (thInt . fromIntegral . c2hsValueInt) cexp in foo subexpr subexpr or let fn = thInt . fromIntegral . c2hsValueInt in foo (fn cexp) (fn cexp) I routinely do that kind of denesting as soon as a line goes beyond 72 characters. I have found that such code is usually far easier to read regardless of what I'm doing in the line. I think the problem is not that you cannot write readable code, it is that people do not use existing facilities for that. If that's correct, then adding another facility for the same purpose is unlikely to help.
