It’s for the same reason that mathematicians say 2 + 3 instead of plus(2,3): it’s more readable at times. :-) Best wishes, Wolfgang ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Because symbols can be used as infix functions directly, whereas alphanumerics have to be wrapped in `` for infix.
