Hello,

do you have any use-case where such function is useful?

I am trying to generalize some combinatorial functions to a class of types containing any sort of element. For many combinatorial functions it is useful to split the elements at some element and recombine them after a recursion over the parts. That's what I was thinking of.

But others seem to be interested aswell (although it is a beginner asking, so there might be a better solution to his problem):

minView applies to that one as well. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
