Re: patch applied (haskell-prime-status): add ""Make $ left associative, like application"

... It should be said though that changing the associativity of $ doesn't make all code nice and clean. Consider for instance

f (g (h x)) (k y)

We could change that into one of

f $ g (h x) $ k y f (g $ h x) $ k y

If $ is left-associative, then f (g (h x)) (k y) = (f . g . h $ x) (k y) = (f . g . h $ x) $ k y = f . g . h $ x $ k y But perhaps composing a curried function this way is unintuitive. -- Jason McCarty <jmccarty@sent.com>
