Is there an inverse of the Haskell $ operator?

Question

A quick question, is there an operator in Haskell that works like the dollar sign but gives precedence to the left hand side. I.E. instead of

f (x 1) 
         


        

Answer 1

This combinator is defined (tongue in cheek) in the data-aviary package:

Prelude Data.Aviary.BirdsInter> 1 `thrush` (+2)
Loading package data-aviary-0.2.3 ... linking ... done.
3

Although actually using that package is a rather silly thing to do, reading the source is fun, and reveals that this combinator is formed via the magic incantation of flip id (or, in ornithological parlance, cardinal idiot).
