it will be non-readable. it is better to just prohibit using of
backquotes inside backquotes. and fixity can be fixed at 0, imho.

at least, my cases was just when i want to use two words inside
backquotes instead of just one. and fixity should be 0 because such
expression with space inside it should have a small priority because
parts of expression "too distant" from each other

(btw, i had (not serious) proposal to raise priority of operations if
there is no spaces around it, so that the following:

x:xs ++ y:ys

translates to

(x:xs)++(y:ys)

in full accordance with natural reading)
