Sorry, I gave a bad example. Here are two more general symptoms of
direct style: being able to write something like
f (if flip 0.3 then LT else EQ)
where f is an existing function that takes an Ordering argument, and
even being able to write something like
and (map flip [0.3, 0.5])
where and :: [Bool] -> Bool
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
are existing functions.
