Description
Say I have a query like this:
Int -> String -> Boolean
Is there some way to inform Hoogle that it's okay to return functions like:
foo :: Int -> String -> Boolean
bar :: String -> Int -> Boolean
Or is the recommendation to manually permute parameter order when querying Hoogle. This can get cumbersome for functions with 3+ arity. If this doesn't exist, I could see this being a powerful feature.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Hoogle's current query-matching behavior and the existing discussion on parameter order. Define how reordered arguments should be matched, including functions with three or more parameters, and verify that the search results include both the original and reordered forms.
