Comment:

 It looks like this isn't reflected in the new documention
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.1-rc1/html/users_guide/data-type-
 extensions.html#type-operators

 how would you propose changing the language? Or is the language correct as
 is?  see eg

 `
 A type constructor or class can be an operator, beginning with a colon;
 e.g. :*:. The lexical syntax is the same as that for data constructors.
