There's only two possibilities that make sense to me: (1) do what I did and call the three functions in question nub, nubOrd, and nubInt, or (2) call them all nub. If we're going to be consistent with names across types, then there's no reason for nubOrd to be a special case either, I think. And calling a function nubOrd when it won't work with arbitrary Ord data just seems broken to me.
Given the pain in the neck that is Haskell's management of names that are duplicated in different imported modules, and the propensity to use Data.List and Data.Set together, I prefer (1). But if folks prefer (2), or if they prefer Yitzchak's intermediate version, please let us know on-list ASAP.
(+1) for option (1) Neil
