[Haskell-beginners] Very little (golfing) question...

[Corentin Dupont]

Thanks Brent and David, that's very neat!
I always forget to use these operators 'on', 'when', 'any'...
I also always hesitate on the container to use, list, sets or something
else... Now everything is done with lists since they are very well
supported by the prelude...
