You can fake this:

(-!) = ($) (!-) = flip ($)

foo -! liftM2 (,) !- bar

Was anyone in that brainstorm thinking of Chung-chieh Shan's -: and :- (http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2002-July/003215.html) or was the similarity just a really cool coincidence?

I hope no-one seriously thinks the above syntax is clearer than: liftM2 (,) foo bar Brian. -- Operators: one small step for compilers, one giant leap for obfuscation. http://www.metamilk.com
