"The idea of using whitespace characters as operators for the C++ 
language was facetiously suggested five years earlier by Bjarne Stroustrup."

Well, in a way, whitespace *is* an operator in Haskell. Or rather, 
function application is an operator (it even has an operator 
precedence), and function application is denoted by whitespace in Haskell.

In other way, inside a do-block, every end of line is replaced by the 
">>" or ">>=" operator. So end of line is a bit like an operator. 
(Although you can write explicit ";" characters if you prefer.)
