[reactive] To fmap fmap or not?

[Peter Verswyvelen]

Many of the fmap fmaps I've seen come from
(fmap f) . g = (fmap f) `fmap` g = fmap (fmap f) g = (fmap (fmap f)) g =
((fmap.fmap) f) g = (fmap.fmap) f g

But... to me the former is much clearer than the latter... It is less
abstract since it uses (.) instead of fmap.

However, I also see (fmap.fmap.fmap), so Conal must have seen a pattern
here?

Of course one could also write (fmap `fmap` fmap `fmap` fmap) instead of
(fmap.fmap.fmap).

Or as was already mentioned  with the generic replacement (.) = fmap,
(fmap.fmap.fmap) can be written as ( (.) . (.) . (.) )

But besides this all being very Haskelly Hackery - and maybe ASCII art that
needs to be censured - I don't see the light yet :)

Could somebody enlighten me?
