Proposal: flipped fmap in base (again)

[Edward Kmett]

I'm weakly +1 on this proposal. In my experience

foo <&> \x -> ...

works out as a nice idiom because it avoids having to parenthesize the
lambda unlike the usual <$> convention.

For me, I can just make lens re-export the Data.Functor version on newer
GHCs.
