To be honest, I find the former harder to read. It can?t be established  
objectively, though, as most people are already used to `map f xs` and can  
read it without any mental effort. On the other hand, I can see myself  
getting used to `xs # map $ (+ 3) . snd` (by reading it right-to-left:  
(+3).snd... through ?map-interface?... applies to xs; which is why I  
prefer <$>, by the way).
