Containers and folds

[Milan Straka]

Hi,

sorry for breaking the rules again and not making myself clear.

I would like to hear other opinions on the folds in the containers
package.

The Set, and IntSet have one 'fold' that does not specify order of
folding (but in fact are right folds).

Map and IntMap have 'fold' and 'foldWithKey' which is a right fold
(and documented as such).

Recently foldrWithKey and foldlWithKey was added to Data.Map
(foldWithKey is deprecated and a synonymous for foldrWithKey).

There are two thinks I am thinking about: a) add left/right folds, b) add strict
folds.

What do you think about:
a) add foldrWithKey and foldlWithKey to IntMap, make foldWithKey
   deprecated and synonymous for foldrWithKey.
b) add foldl and foldr to Set and IntSet, make fold deprecated
   and synonymous to foldr.
c) add strict variants of left and right folds, namely
  Data.Map, Data.IntMap: foldlWithKey' foldrWithKey'
  Data.Set, Date.IntSet: foldl', foldr'

Some issues:
- should fold be really renamed to foldr? Maybe we could clarify
  that fold and foldWithKey are right folds and add only
  foldl and foldlWithKey.
- should fold really be deprecated? It could break
  a lot of code.
- adding foldl, foldr, foldl' and foldr' to Set and IntSet is going to
  cause a lot of trouble because of shadowing. Maybe some better name?
  On the other hand, these are the "right" names.

Thanks for any opinions.

Milan
