There are 4 variants of tail: tail :: [a] -> [a] -- normal tailDef :: [a] -> [a] -> [a] -- returns the first argument on [] tailMay :: [a] -> Maybe [a] -- returns a Nothing tailNote :: String -> [a] -> [a] -- crashes, but with a helpful message tailSafe :: [a] -> [a] -- returns [] on [] tail_____ would not be a good name!
