Re: generalization of maybeToList

I'm all for generalizations! I have a second, very similar function I think should be added, but I don't have a good name for it. maybe mzero id :: MonadPlus m => Maybe (m a) -> m a Perhaps there is once again an equivalent for Alternative. On 2/14/2012 10:24 AM, Edward Kmett wrote:

If you are going to add one then the generalization of your generalization to Alternative might be better.

maybeA = maybe empty pure

I find myself using this function quite a lot. I believe it should be included in Data.Maybe.

import Control.Monad

maybeTo :: (MonadPlus m) => Maybe a -> m a maybeTo = maybe mzero return
