Re: Why is $ right associative instead of left associative?

No one has mentioned yet that it's easy to change the associativity of $ 
within a module in Haskell 98:

     import Prelude hiding (($))

     infixl 0 $
     f$x = f x

or, for the purists,

     import Prelude hiding (($))
     import qualified Prelude (($))

     infixl 0 $
     ($) = (Prelude.$)
