Comment(by giorgidze):
Thanks Simon and Nils for your clarifications.
I agree with Nils that the use of the do notation for non-monadic
structures should not be encouraged.
As for notations for constructing lists, I like the current standard
notation with square brackets, commas, and dots (for arithmetic
sequences). The standard notation works very well for single line as well
as for multiline indented and nested definitions.
I do not see a compelling reason as to why Haskell needs an alternative
notation for constructing lists.
Cheers, George
