I think Jón's suggestion 'intercalate' was pretty sweet. I've chosen to use that name in my patch.

Could you add the definition (or a reference) to the patch? It would be nice to make sure people know that the Haskell community didn't make it up.

Do you think that's really necessary? We don't have explanations for intersperse, transpose, partition, insert, intersect, union etc. Nor do we make excuses for names like nub or mapAccumL.

The Haskell report used to explain 'nub' (my 1.1 report has the comment, but it seems to be lost in '98). Cheers, Simon
