Haskell base already has the reverse application operator (&) which does the same thing. Not included in the prelude but can be imported from Data.Function. [1] It's defined as:

  (&) :: a -> (a -> b) -> b
  x & f = f x
Not that there's anything wrong with using your own definitions, just thought I'd point it out!
