Records in Haskell

[Andriy Polischuk]

You're right, i should have written "ambiguities" instead.
That was not joke, just i somehow didn't notice Chris Smith answer.

However, I think, there are some drawbacks in using dot for that in
comparison with qualified imports access. The latter is easier to
distinguish from composition by eye, because module-identifier is always one
word, starting from uppercase letter (which, moreover, in many editors is
highlighted differently). But in field access left operand is not always
atomic - it can be expression.

Consider this example:
quux (y . (foo >.< bar).baz (f . g)) moo
It's not that easy to distinguish from
quux (y . (foo >.< bar) . baz (f . g)) moo
