We already have prefix operators, don't we?  I.e., regular functions
are prefix?  One would assume (but one would also be to lazy to try
it) that operators (i.e. non-alpha identifiers) could be defined
unary, and applied with the parenthesis notation?  E.g.

(%&/) :: a -> b
(%&/) x = ...

I've rather felt that unary minus should go, I almost always end up
using "negate" explicitly, anyway.
