It doesn't, and indeed it would only work in the special case where
your only missing type arguments are on the right (since we lack
type-level lambda, we can only accept eta-reduced forms). So it
probably wouldn't be worth it - it wouldn't allow you to write
anything significantly shorter than the existing form "(,) String".

Cheers,
