Try not to look as if you wanted to _remove_ the composition operator, because that will make people angry (wrrrr...) :-) We are talking about _renaming_ the composition, not removing it, right? If you removed it from the Prelude, most people would write their own versions, with different names, and we rather don't want that. Anyway, is it realistic to expect that people will rewrite their programs to use the new operator? I thought that the new version of Haskell will be mostly downwards compatible with Hashell 98?
