That is not and was never the motivation of FTP. FTP was about not wanting to have to hide a zillion functions from Prelude, Data.List, Control.Applicative, and Control.Monad. Functors are utterly ubiquitous in Haskell programming, so adding an operator to make them easier to use seems quite sensible.

It seems that many Haskell programmers don't like to write "import". That's the whole motivation for FTP. I can't understand it, too. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libraries
