* intercat * the problem with joinWith (or whatever) is that traditionally it would be joinBy
As I pointed out in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/10136/focus=136... the "By" suffix characterizes functions taking _binary_ comparison arguments. So I only see the tradition of stating this to be a problem.
I agree. A join* name would be nice but there doesn't seem to be a nice suffix that doesn't give the wrong connotation. So I'm sticking with 'intercalate'. But I'll wait until all the discussion have settled until I apply the patch. All the best, Josef
