Hello GHC HQ, hello mailing list, there are a couple of basic functions that I think aren't where they should be. 1. void is currently in Control.Monad. However, it is defined only in terms of fmap (and therefore only has a Functor constraint). Although this function is often used in a monadic setting as ">> return ()", I really don't think Control.Monad is the right place for it. 2. a) swap is the only function from Data.Tuple that is not exported to Prelude. On #haskell, people are sometimes even surprised there /is/ a Data.Tuple, and redefine their own version of swap at need. I therefore suggest including Data.Tuple.swap in the Prelude. The obvious downside of this change would of course be that it breaks code if there is a top-level user-defined version of it. Fixing this is of course trivial, but necessary. b) A related suggestion would be the addition of an irrefutable swap, (swap'?), defined as "swap ~(a,b) = (b,a)", and its addition to Prelude for the same reasons. 3. $>, a flipped version of <$, currently resides in Control.Comonad, but should be in Data.Functor. Applicative has <* and *>, Monad has >>= and =<<, and I personally keep redefining (or specifically importing) $> quite often, and I don't think I'm the only one. As these are quite small changes I think 2 weeks should be a sufficiently long discussion period. Greetings, David
