[Haskell-cafe] Is it possible to declare assignment operators in Haskell?

[Alexander Alexeev]

Hello!

I'm wondering, is there any way to declare assignment operators
in Haskell? For example, strict assignment operators:

x .= y -- equals: let x = y `deepseq` y
x := y -- equals: x <- y `deepseq` y

As far as I can tell, Template Haskell is not able to do anything like
this, because I can't event quote expressions like `let x = y` or `x <-
y`. Is there any other way (plugin for GHC, etc)? Or maybe I'm doing
something wrong and TH is quite able to handle this task?

I'm pretty sure that I could use a preprocessor, but I wonted to find
a better solution.
