> pointfree style is less readable than the using the normal lambda syntax

Came here to say pretty much just that. The original lambdas that got "fixed" I could read very easily. The pointfree style I could figure out but it took a few extra cycles to do so. No thanks. It's neat that you _can_ do this but anyone coming upon it who wasn't the author would have to burn a lot of mental calories figuring out what the hell was going on.

IMHO, it's a matter of not being familiar with such way of writing code. Once you wrote a few lines yourself, it becomes much easier to read such code.

Anyway, I'm advocating to use it with caution, not in a "pointfree all the things" manner.
