>From the ticket:
This proposal was, I think, originally suggested by Jules Bean. The idea is
to add two functions to the Data.Monoid module, (+>) and (<+), corresponding
to different uses of mappend. These should not be methods of the
Monoidtypeclass, but top-level functions.
I hope (but slightly doubt) that the visual nature of the two operators
might help to counter the thought that monoids are just for gluing things
together.
(+>) :: (Monoid a) => a -> a -> a
a +> b = a `mappend` b
(<+) :: (Monoid a) => a -> a -> a
a <+ b = b `mappend` a
infixl 4 +>
infixl 4 <+
Proposed deadline: two weeks.
If this looks reasonable, I'll attach darcs patches.
