I don't know how established it is, but ($>) is a common name for 
flip($). Common, as in, I've seen three or so different people use it. 
IIRC, the F# name is (|>) but triangles are far too nice of a name and 
are often used for other things (e.g., cons and snoc). For what it's 
worth, this is the T combinator--- in case thrushes give you any ideas 
for names. Personally I'm more likely to use T as a prefix combinator 
rather than as infix, and for that the ($ _) section is good enough for me.

As for flip(.) we have (>>>) in Control.Arrow.
