After the last time this made the rounds, this went to the core libraries committee.

Consensus was achieved to add it as an infixl 1 & operator to Data.Function, but not to Prelude,so we just need to put in the patch and you'll see it in GHC 7.10.

Done.

There is no reason to use a library for making a reverse compose
operator. The discussion should rather be whether this is worthwhile
and interesting to add to prelude.
