It would be great to have maybeRead in base in time for the next Haskell Platform release. There's been talk about including it several times, but it's remained as a utility function in other libraries (Network.CGI, for example, if I'm remembering right).

It's in base-4.6.0.0, but it's called readMaybe (personally, I don't like that name, but I guess it's for consistency with readEither). Cheers, Simon
