Comment(by sebf):

 I have seen people use operators as type variables for arrows like this:

 {{
 arr :: Arrow (~>) => (a -> b) -> (a ~> b)
 }}

 Your example is also compelling. Not sure what I would find more
 confusing: type variable operators or an exception to the naming rule for
 constructors. I'd probably use a flag to change the default when I need
 it.
