As others have mentioned, diagrams already uses (#) for reverse application (but with a high precedence instead of low). We also already use (&) for something else -- namely constructing literal points and vectors, e.g. (1 & 2) or (3 & 0 & 4). But these are fairly minor considerations. I'm still in favor of the proposal (especially given that (&) will not be exported by the Prelude).
If we get & in Data.Function, might we also want to add <&> to Control.Applicative as a flipped fmap? -- John Wiegley FP Complete Haskell tools, training and consulting http://fpcomplete.com johnw on #haskell/irc.freenode.net
