I propose we add a operator - tentatively labelled $!! (and which Hayoo reports isn't currently exported by a Hackage package) - as a deepseq analogue $! to the deepseq library:

($!!) :: (NFData a) => (a -> b) ->a -> b f $!! x = x `deepseq` f x

infixr 0 $!!

+1 Note that I included the ($!!) operator in my original DeepSeq module (http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2001-August/001586.html). Dean
