IIRC Jules Bean has proposed using (+>) for this purpose, which I<br>
like. It has the advantages of (a) not clashing with any other<br>
(common) operators, (b) making more obvious the fact that mappend is<br>
not necessarily commutative, and (c) providing the obvious (<+) for<br>
'flip mappend' which is sometimes useful.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I actually think this proposal is pretty excellent. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
