I like this thinking as well.  I kind of wish Haskell didn't overload
operators to begin with but oh well :-)

Just because the compiler can figure out what I mean because it has a great
type system, I might not be able to figure out what I mean a year from now
if I see ++ everywhere.

In some sense, I prefer misleading function names to overly overloaded
operators.
