We have a couple of weeks until the third release candidate for GHC 7.10 goes out the door.

Along the way with the last couple of release candidates folks have found some problems with the way we implemented the AMP. [1][2]

Most notably, we failed to include (<$>) in the Prelude, so the standard idiom of

foo <$> bar <*> baz <*> quux

doesn't work out of the box!

I'd like to include (<$>) in the Prelude in RC3.

+1 on (<$>) 0 on (<$) ... but I must say that I've never actually seen the later in any code I've inspected. (But then I'm usually not looking at that much high-level applicative code, code, so...)
