Don't forget that some languages use <> to mean "different" (as if "different" meant always "superior or inferior"...), so some beginners might get confused. I personally often define the alias: (<+>) = mappend 2011/7/24 Maciej Wos <maciej.wos@gmail.com>
Personally, I have nothing against mempty (although I agree that mid makes more sense), but I don't like mappend at all. I wonder what happened to the idea of using <> instead of mappend (that's what I always do). I think
a <> b <> c
looks so much better than
a `mappend` b `mappend` c
and it solves the name problem altogether.
