But wait! There is also a join in Control.Monad!
Good point. But I don't really see that as a problem. Don't you think the two 'join's can co-exist?
Data.List and Control.Monad have no conflicting names at the moment. On the other hand, you have a problem only when you use the conflicting name in your code. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad, but I tend to use (concat . intersperse sep) a lot, and if I used join instead of that, I would have to hide "join" from all my Control.Monad imports. How about: separateWith sepBy (like in Parsec) joinWith or in the spirit of concatMap: concatIntersperse but that's a bit long. Best regards Tomasz
