Good point about the silent ones: you’re right, I guess. I still disagree regarding fold being used the way you tell us. What you want to do can be done with / and the likes. Again, the main advantage of the fold verbs from my pont of view is that there may be any kind of initial data processed by v in a way given by x’s items’ values.
But let’s just settle on “we agree to disagree” – I don’t think further back and forth will lead us somewhere.
