At this time I haven't switched the %~ operators from %. I will miss the consistency that operator= or operator~ applies the operator to the target of the lens, like how += applies (+) to the target of an l-value, in this case, but i think it'd be silly to try too hard to be consistent across every use of % in lens and that %= for mod-equals still reads better than &=, which _is_ used in lens for bitwise .&. in data.bits.lens mosty because .&.= is silly looking ;)

And let's not forget that the current <%= operator would turn into <|>=, which is completely unfortunate because it has nothing to do with <|>. -- John Wiegley FP Complete Haskell tools, training and consulting http://fpcomplete.com johnw on #haskell/irc.freenode.net
