Could someone (maybe the person who introduced it) simply delete it in the next version (or make a library proposal)?
We added it after a library proposal. The warning was there in the docs already in 0.3. If you prefer a different design, write a library proposal.
A matching "foldrWithKey" (and foldlWithKey) is missing in Data.IntMap. and folding without keys is also only given via "fold" in Data.Map.
That suggests we should add foldrWithKey and foldlWithKey to IntMap, not remove them from Data.Map. Same goes for the without-key fold in Data.Map.
Data.Set contains toList and toAscList and the former is rightly not deprecated. (A function toDescList is missing though in Data.Set.)
"Rightly"? You mean: you prefer to have both.
Furthermore, Data.Map.foldrWithKey is not part of the container package that came with ghc-6.10.4.
Why does that matter? It's been in the two latest major version of containers. Johan
