Why not just?
==================
init' [] = Nothing
init' xs = Just xs
==================
Meets your type sig and is also has a time complexity of O(1) instead of
O(n) which will be the time complexity in the solution involving
fromMaybe. Maybe I'm missing something.
Perhaps it'd help us help you if you'd be a bit more clear on what you want
to achieve.
