I like to think that Haskell is a language where aesthetics matter. So,
in my opinion this is indeed a horrible consequence.
I find mixing of symbols and letters in identfiers to be in itself
aesthetically inferior, and there's already more than enough
whitespace-dependent parsing warts in Haskell.
