I'm weakly +1 on this proposal. In my experience

foo <&> \x -> ... 

works out as a nice idiom because it avoids having to parenthesize the lambda unlike the usual <$> convention.

For me, I can just make lens re-export the Data.Functor version on newer GHCs.

module Data.Functor, infixl 1, and should not be in prelude.
