Re: [Haskell-cafe] Generalizing (++) for monoids instead of using (<>)

It is somewhat idiomatic to read it as TeX's \diamond symbol. Various papers set with Lhs2TeX use it for general composition operator (sometimes concat / mappend). On 2 April 2012 10:05, Yves Parès wrote:

Plus one might argue that using <> to mean different is a bad choice, as it graphically means "strictly inferior or strictly superior" which implies comparability, whereas equality and comparison are two different things. (e.g. Eq and Ord are two distinct classes in Haskell).
