I'm loosely in favour of this for 'do', not quite so keen for lambda expressions - but I have no justifiable reason why, other than "it looks a bit weird".

I don't really like $ from an editor perspective though (tooling has to become aware of a single function when performing refactorings), so anything that helps reduce how prolific that operator is is a win in my book!

Is the following going to be valid code under your extension?

   runReaderT
     do foo
        bar
     env

Likewise, I expect the following also parses:

import Control.Monad

main :: IO ()
main = when True
         do print "Hello"

Creating a language extension just to get rid of a single character is overkill.
