Here's a really elementary question: Why does the library have [FiniteMap and Set] instead of [FiniteMap and FiniteSet] or just [Map and Set]? Is there some reason for this inconsistency? Thanks, James

Historical accident mainly. There is discussion going on in the haskell library list about rectifying this using a variation of daan's excelent DData collections. http://www.cs.uu.nl/~daan/ddata.html -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈

Which use Set and Map as module names.
