For documentation purposes: although `<*>` receives a `Functor` on both sides it's much closer in shape to `<$>` because one side is just functions lifted into the respective `Functor`. Therefore `<*` and `*>` effectively choose between results as if the left side (of functions) were evaluated. `<$` and `$>` likewise choose as if the left side (a function) were evaluated. `#>` and `<#` would simply be aliases choosing the opposite side without a corollary in `Apply`. For that reason maybe it's better left well enough alone?"}}
