Hi, the following sections are currently legal in Haskell: (a + b +) and (++ a ++ b) because + is left and ++ is right associative. I would like to write (+ 1 +) and (++ " " ++) as legal generalized sections, too, to stay for (\ a -> (a + 1 +)) and (\ a b -> a ++ " " ++ b) respectively. The right-associative case would be "flip (\ b -> (++ " " ++ b))" Such an extension would be easy to implement and it would also be a generalization of putting parenthesis around symbols as in (+) or (++). Extending the grammar is easy: aexp -> ... | ( infixexp qop ) (left section) | ( qop⟨-⟩ infixexp ) (right section) Some thoughts are needed to exclude the illegal cases (as done for left and right sections). Is this worth a formal proposal or is this too confusing? Cheers Christian
