Comment:

 Copying what I said
 [http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/o132i/ghc_listlayout_proposal_opinions_ideas_suggestions/
 on reddit] for the record:

   I don't like `$++`; it should be a textual keyword, like `do`.

   I would be in favour of this, but I think it should be generalised to
 any Monoid; things like the various serialisation libraries want to be
 monoids, but use monads just to get do notation.
