Well this is not very sexy, no monads or anything, but I kinda believe

[8.0,4.0,14.0,1.4142135623730951]
Note that revApply here is precisely flip ($).
And ($a) is the same as flip ($) a.
So this reduces to one of the earlier examples rather quickly.
It is possible to argue 'it's nice to give revApply a name'. It's also
possible to argue 'taking a section of $ is even better than naming
revApply'.
Beauty in the eye of the beholder...
