[Haskell-cafe] Proposal: (.:) operator in base.

[Oleg Grenrus]

Aeson (and cassava) use is very isolated.

FWIW (.=) is in aeson (and other serialising libs) and lens, and do
totally different things. I never needed both in the same module.

Bikeshedding: if (.:) goes to base, why not also (.:.) and (.::) and …

I’m -1, there is `composition` package [1], and I rather see base shrink,
not grow.
