Re: Proposal: add `on` to the Prelude

10 Sep 2019

      Indeed, there are a lot more conflicts than I'd have expected. Ignoring
functions with the same type, Hoogle shows this name in the below packages.
I have no sense of the overall significance of the specific packages or
(equally importantly) of the `on` function within each.

haskell-gi-base:
on :: forall object info m . (GObject object, MonadIO m, SignalInfo info)
=> object -> SignalProxy object info -> HaskellCallbackType info -> m
SignalHandlerId

brick:
on :: Color -> Color -> Attr

esqueletto:
on :: SqlExpr (Value Bool) -> SqlQuery ()

relational-query (both):
on :: MonadQuery m => Predicate Flat -> m ()
on :: MonadQuery m => QueryA m (Predicate Flat) ()

threepenny-gui:
on :: (element -> Event a) -> element -> (a -> UI void) -> UI ()

miso:
on :: MisoString -> Decoder r -> (r -> action) -> Attribute action

wild-bind:
on :: i -> v -> Binder i v ()

massiv-io:
on :: Pixel X Bit

selda-postgresql:
on :: Text -> Text -> PGConnectInfo

One note: this does conflict with some other libraries, for instance GTK2HS

Every time I reach for Data.Function.on, I feel like a total dolt for
having to import a module to get a function whose implementation is barely
longer than the import. And it's a really good function too! Can we please
add it to the Prelude?
on :: (b -> b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> a -> a -> c
  (.*.) `on` f = \x y -> f x .*. f y
