[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE slot-lambda

[Alois Cochard]

In order to give a more constructive feedback, why not simply indexing
arguments by position and use the `_N` syntax?

The second example would be:

_0 : _1 : _1 : _2 : _2 : _2 : _0 : []

One could just use `_` if there is only one arg:

_ + _ (which mean what Kim thought it would mean)

and use:

_0 + _1 (for the case you wanted to support)

Cheers
