gollark: I think that it'd basically create the following lists:0 1 1 21 1 2 3 (shifted ahead by one)and then sum them to1 2 3 5
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: Let's make some ~~pointless~~ pointfree code!
