Thanks, is the notation with the single quote (isKeith') a convention for helper functions or does it actually change something about the program?

An unspoken coding convention. Function foo' would be read "foo-prime". E.g.of usage: haskell-prime is the next standard of haskell, which became moot because you need good vibes for diverse peoples to collaborate on such an undertaking, including supporting it by writing more than one implementation. Strictly syntax, the compiler doesn't treat it differently from any other name label. So yes, you could have foo-double-prime and so forth. -- Kim-Ee
