I find that every time I use intersperse I also concat the result. And it seems that I'm not alone: http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=file%3A%5C.hs+intersperse&btnG=Search+Code A clear majority of all the uses of intersperse also use concat on the result. I think it seems worthwhile to give a name to that idiom.
Oh, that's a nice trick for working out apis. Good idea!
Thanks!
The name 'join' was taken from Data.ByteString, where a similar function exists.
Seems reasonable. Want to submit a darcs patch, and maybe a quickcheck property or two?
Well, I do have commit rights myself so I can apply whatever we agree on. Or did you mean that it would be nice with some public scrutiny of the patch? Where would the quickcheck properties go, btw? Cheers, Josef
