As I said, I chose the name according to Data.Sequence:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.5.5.1/docs/Data-Sequence.html#v:viewl


There is also:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.5.5.1/docs/Data-Map-Lazy.html#v:minView
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.5.5.1/docs/Data-Set.html#v:minView


But I am not bound to it.
