</span>You might want to add laws in the style of <br>

If this is also a Foldable, then <br>
toList . mapMaybe f = mapMapybe f . toList<br>
toList . catMaybes = catMaybes . toList<br>
toList . filter f = filter f . toList<br>
<br>
which would fix the behavior quite tightly.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Why would you specify laws for Filtrable w.r.t.
