Yes, it is perfectly obvious once you write it like this:

  incrEach :: Integer -> [Integer] -> [Integer]
  incrEach = map . (+)

Now compare that to the following function, which does the
some thing but without point-free notation:

  incrEach' :: Integer -> [Integer] -> [Integer]
  incrEach' i is = is >>= \i' -> return (i'+i)

Which one is harder to read? ;-)
