Hi all,

I'd like to have a better way for "showing" a list of things, e.g.

show (f1 t) ++ show (f2 t) ++ show (f3 t) ++ ....

I would love to just write: (f1 # f2 # f3) t but I do not see how to define an operator like # in Haskell without applying show over again on the first arguments (i.e. f1 and f2). Because polymorphic lists are not possible, I can not define # as to write [f1,f2,f3] # t either.

Any idea?

Regards, Bernd
