Something like this?

Cheers,

I managed something even "clearer". I still have very little intuition about what's going on, but I had an aha moment -- which I promptly forgot :0( -- and at least there's a mechanical translation from the iterate version to the fix one. equivalenceClosure :: (Ord a) => Relation a -> Relation a equivalenceClosure = fix (\f -> reflexivity . symmetry . transitivity)
