Dear Haskell lovers,
The Haskell Prime process for standardisation of new versions of the Haskell
language is at something of an impasse. Since the Haskell 2010 Report was
issued (at the end of 2009), there has been very little momentum to formalise
existing extensions and generalisations,

If space sensitivity or () disambiguation is being used on !, could one of
these also be permitted on ~ to permit it as a valid infix term-level
operator?
That would be an amazingly valuable symbol to be able to reclaim for the
term level for equivalences, and for folks who come from other
