I'd be quite happy to rename the flag to GeneralisedisedListComp, and clarify the user manual. Would that suit everyone?
I suppose the alternative is to leave it as TransformListComp, and document that fact. But I rather agree that GeneralisedListComp fits the literature better.
Looking at the paper, it doesn't really give it any specific name. Perhaps is a good thing because we can change the ghc user guide relatively easily, but not published papers. I appreciate Max's point that GeneralisedListComp is a bit vague, though TransformListComp doesn't really speak to me. I would not (and did not) guess it has any relation to the extension in question. My only other suggestion is QueryListComp or GeneralisedQueryListComp (bikeshed dangers approaching...). The main point is that the docs and the extension name should be consistent (and should refer to each other). Duncan
