Apologies, I see now this statement reads like 'I write more code that
hvr, so his opinion is worth less'. That wasn't my intention, in fact
I wasn't trying to provide any type of judgement as to how much hvr
writes (as I understand it, hvr writes plenty!). I was just trying to
emphasize how much this proposal means to me as a full time Haskell
programmer.

Seeing as I'm already derailing the conversation I'll step out of this
for now. Turns out I'm weirdly passionate about this single
expression!
