[Haskell-cafe] Syntax proposal for "reverse apply"/"pipeline apply" (flip ($))

[Edward Kmett]

After the last time this made the rounds, this went to the core libraries
committee.

Consensus was achieved to add it as an infixl 1 & operator to Data.Function,
but not to Prelude,so we just need to put in the patch and you'll see it in
GHC 7.10.

Done.
