gollark: You know, given the existence of the automatic pointfree-izer thing... we need a thing to automatically run this on entire projects.

gollark: ```haskell(....) :: ((a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> c) -> (((a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a1 -> b) -> (a2 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a2 -> c(....) = ((.) .)<$> (*>) (. (.)) (<*>) . ((.) >>= (. ((.) . (.)))) . ((>>) >> (<$>))```

gollark: Wow, it is very slow.

gollark: Let's make some ~~pointless~~ pointfree code!

gollark: ```haskell(...) = (.) . (. (.)) . (.) . (. (. (.))) . ((.) .)``````haskell(...) :: (((b1 -> c1) -> c2) -> b2 -> c3) -> (a1 -> b3 -> c2) -> a1 -> (((a2 -> b1) -> a2 -> c1) -> b3) -> (a3 -> b2) -> a3 -> c3```
