Re: [Haskell-cafe] Splitting off many/some from Alternative

This seems to generalize to list:

some [] = [] some xs = [cycle xs]

many [] = [[]] many xs = [cycle xs]

More like some [] = [] some (x:xs) = repeat (repeat x) many [] = [[]] many (x:xs) = repeat (repeat x)

Although I'm still not sure why I would be using these operations in maybe or list.

That's true.
