I would like to propose a new module for functions like this, which are in some sense "purely" functional, that is, they do not involve any data structure at all, just functions. Other examples would be
const id flip (.) ($) ($!)
Any suggestions for a good name for such a module? Data.Function does not sound right to my ears.
Clearly, they should all go in a module called Util. Or possibly GeneralUtilities ;-) Seriously, currently they are all provided by Prelude, and lacking an obvious separate place to put them, I think Prelude is just fine. The reasons to put them somewhere else would be if the list grew longer and/or there were some that we didn't want in scope by default; but I don't see either of these being the case soon.
