i prefer name splitEithers. for me, unzipping is process of splitting list of (a,b) values into the list of 'a' values and list of 'b' values - just like unzipping in real life. this don't have anything common with the algorithm of this function
The concern I have with split is that almost all the other split functions work by taking an ordered container and returning two containers where everything in the first container preceeds everything in the second container. unzipEithers doesn't have this property. However unzipEithers is a process of splitting a list of Either a b values into a list of 'a' values and a list of 'b' values, similar to the unzip function. -- Russell O'Connor http://r6.ca/ ``All talk about `theft,''' the general counsel of the American Graphophone Company wrote, ``is the merest claptrap, for there exists no property in ideas musical, literary or artistic, except as defined by statute.''
