If we are considering requiring spaces around "." then I think it would
make sense to also consider requiring spaces around
* "-" (so we can make "-2" and "map (- 3) xs" both do what you expect)
* "!" (meaning that "f !x" isn't valid but differently parsed for
       patterns and expressions - assuming we plan to accept
       BangPatterns).

I don't think it makes sense to make a special case for requiring spaces
around "$", as TH won't be in H'.


Thanks
