G'day all. Quoting Jan-Willem Maessen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There's one caveat: Always choose descriptive names, even if you are assuming that you will usually use a qualified import. The following are wonderful names, even though they conflict with the prelude: null filter map lookup
On the contrary, these are terrible names _because_ they conflict with the Prelude. Especially "map", for which there's no excuse. If it does the obvious thing, it's far better to define a real Functor instance. It's okay if you highly encourage or effectively mandate qualified import, like Data.Map does. However, unlike Data.Map, if you do that then please don't define any operators. Requiring someone to type m M.! k is just wrong.
