That's something I considered. I like the `|>` operator found in F# (I hope
it's not a curse word on this list) which is equivalent to `flip (.)`.

It's easy to define in Haskell

(|>) :: (a -> b) -> (b -> c) -> a -> c
(|>) = flip (.)

I even started to use it in my code and then stopped. It may be a stupid
concern but as many optimizations performed by GHC are made through rewrite
rules and I was worried that those rules may not fire when using this new
operator.

I never thought of using `>>>` for this, but again I wonder how it will work
with rewrite rules.
