Alternatively: flip (foldr id)
Very cool, but...
Prelude> import qualified Data.Foldable as F
Prelude F> :t F.foldr id
F.foldr id :: F.Foldable t => b -> t (b -> b) -> b
{- Generalizing -}
Prelude F> import qualified Control.Category as C
Prelude F C> :t F.foldr (C..) C.id
F.foldr (C..) C.id :: (F.Foldable t, C.Category cat) => t (cat b b) -> cat
b b
{- Sneaky type-specialization -}
Prelude F C> :t F.foldr C.id
F.foldr C.id :: F.Foldable t => b -> t (b -> b) -> b

I've recently found myself using the expression: "foldr (.) id" to compose a list (or Foldable) of functions. It's especially useful when I need to map a function over the list before composing. Does this function, or the more general "foldr fmap id", defined in a library anywhere? I googled and hoogled, but no luck so far.
