Hmm, now I'm changing my mind. Those examples make me think that ; is
more sensible - since otherwise you are really screwing with small
differences in what makes an operator or not - I especially dislike
the "leading digits" rule. I would rather that Core didn't care too
much about operator vs function differences, but these two examples
show it will have to. Therefore I think ; makes more sense.

If we use ; we can also change it so:

module Foo where

foo = ...
   where bar = ...

Foo;foo.bar - which is exactly what you would want, to keep as much
info as possible.

Of course, this change could be done sometime in the future.

Agreed, ditto with the primitive stuff.

Thanks
