It is a common idiom to write a sequence of composed combinators in
reverse order to the way they would be written with ($) or (.). That

applied in the given order.

I think the bar should be pretty high before we add a third way to write function application to base. How common is this? Common among whom? Why can't the existing idioms of (.) and ($) work just as well?

My own opinion is that this will only serve to confuse new people.

Discussion period: 2 weeks

I am currently opposed.
