Another possiblity: define a new operator (let's call it $+) and you do without the backquotes:
infixl 5 $+ ($+) :: Int->Int->Int x $+ y = x+y times2 x = x $+ x
This way you can specify the associativy and binding precedence and reduce the need for parenthesis.
Note that you can define associativity and precedence of ANY function used as an infix operator, and you can also use it in an infix manner when it is defined. For example:
> infixl 5 `plus` > plus :: Int->Int->Int > x `plus` y = x+y > times2 x = x `plus` x
