Comment (by simonpj):

 I think it would be better to make bang bind more tightly so that it
 behaves the way you expect.  We go to some trouble to make
 {{{
 f !x y = e
 }}}
 mean
 {{{
 f (!x) y = e
 }}}
 so bang binds pretty tightly there.

 This is a purely syntactic matter.  Would anyone like to tackle it?

 Simon
