Ugh, indeed. Sorry for the noise. I'm not sure what went wrong earlier.
I've too many ghci's open, and just recently cleaned out my ~/.cabal
from old versions of xmonad and rebuilt clean with the infixr. So must
have had wrong versions of something loaded.

On the bright side, the counterexamples I needlessly dragged out of you
clearly demonstrate how much cleaner is the properly defined !> in
comparison with leaving it as is.

thanks, Gwern.
