Comment:

 I support it. I think that Haskell will gain a broader audience.

 The ''data transformation sequence'' will be easier to understand ''in the
 reading direction''

 {{{
  xs .reverse .(filter isEven) .(map double)
 }}}

 than right-to-left as today in

 {{{
  map double $ filter isEven $ reverse xs
 }}}
