Comment(by megacz):

 Simon, I found it confusing at first too, but eventually got used to it.

 How about letting the user choose tyvar-or-tycon on a symbol-by-symbol
 basis, the same way we currently choose fixity on an identifier-by-
 identifier basis?  I don't mind writing the code for this.

 I do find operators-as-type-variables very useful, particularly (**) in
 the definition of GArrows
