I think fewer names and more combinations is usually best unless there is a really compelling reason. Just because things are often used in combination doesn't mean we have to make a new name to represent that composition. As functional programmers we are very used to using composition, especially simple function application.
I fully agree! The identifiers of the proposed new functions are rather systematic. So why not use the means of the language (combining higher-order functions) to express the underlying structure instead of relying on naming conventions and boilerplate code? Best wishes, Wolfgang
