+1. I would support requiring spaces around _all_ operators. I can't immediately think of any operator where it would be detrimental, at least, albeit my memory is not the greatest. It would free up a lot of syntax space, whatever we might end up using it for. (Obviously we would need some kind of incremental phase-in plan.) I think it's worth specifying (for the dot operator or for whichever) that a space would be required between the operator and its argument, but not between the operator and parentheses if it's used as a section (i.e. (f .) and (.) would still be valid). (FWIW, I don't support phasing out the dot operator completely in favor of unicode dot.) _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
