A select few operators (out of hundreds) for a single Haskell library: https://github.com/ekmett/lens/wiki/Operators

(For full disclosure, the lens library is infamous for this.)

You are perfectly fine importing the module Control.Lens.Combinators[0], which has the full functionality of lens except the operators. There's nothing you can do with operators but can't do with normal functions named with words.

Oh, definitely. Haskell approach to operators and overloading is exactly the Right Way: operators are weirdly syntaxed function, and you can add your own. No need to make bit-shifting do IO.
