Comment(by simonpj):

 It all seems rather complicated to me.  What's wrong with
 {{{
 data Exp = ...
   | UnresolvedInfixE
          Exp       -- Left operand
          Exp       -- Operator
          Exp       -- Right operand
 }}}
 with the understanding that any tree of adjacent `UnresolvedInfixE`
 constructors is re-associated into correctly-associated uses of `InfixE`?
 The data type is simpler.  The specification is simpler. The
 implementation is simpler.

 Simon
