Hi
select :: [a] -> [(a,[a])] selectSplit :: [a] -> [([a],a,[a])]
Not entirely certain about the names, but the functions are good. Perhaps the reason I am dubious is the select/poll conventions. Is there not some word in combinatorics for extracting any single element out of a set? It sounds like Maths should have beaten us to this naming, as it typically does for Data.List. I have selectSplit defined in a few of my projects, and have called it "allItems" on at least one occasion - which is an even worse name. (+0.8) as it currently stands, but (+1) if it gets a better (more Mathsy) name. I don't support the flipping of the select arguments, ever, as currently it returns a very logical pair of ("this item","everything else") - flipping the order goes against the intution of the order of cons. Thanks Neil
