Hmm, from the first two lines, I was expecting

mapHead :: (a -> a) -> [a] -> [a]

as given by Bulat, but also

mapTail :: ([a] -> [a]) -> [a] -> [a]

instead of

mapTail :: (a -> a) -> [a] -> [a]

I wasn't expecting the other two at all, but I would have expected
mapInit to have a similar type to mapTail. (But really, I wouldn't
have wanted those. Not that I'm sure I'd want either of the first
two.)
