btw, just thinking out loud, what about an infix operator such as (just
as an example):

  (!.!) :: a -> b -> (a,b)
  a !.! b = a `seq` b `seq` (a,b)

which let's you write a pair as

  ( exp1 !.! exp2 )

which has a bit of a resemblance to the standard tuple-construction
syntax:

  ( exp1 , exp2 )

?
