Here's a simple issue that's been with me for a while. As do many
people, I use plural variable names for lists, so if a Block as called
'block' then [Block] is 'blocks'.
The other pattern that comes up a lot is 'Maybe Block'. When I have
to name it, I call it 'maybe_block', e.g.
maybe_block -
In my own code, I usually use a 'mb' prefix with camelCase, like so:
case mbStr of
Just str - ...
Nothing - ...
But I agree that it doesn't always look very nice. I'm curious what
others do.

I do it in a similar way, not just for maybes:
paramMay - getHTTPPostParam Param
paramStr - maybe (throwError No Param parameter) return paramMay
let paramE = parseParam paramStr
param - case paramE of
Left e - throwError $ Error while parsing Param: ++ show e
Right p - return p
It'd be great,

Hi Evan
The EHC compiler code base seems to use mbSomething as a convention.
As EHC has quite a lot of textual information in its source - the code
is Haskell + attribute grammars + Shuffle + plus more - the mb
convention seems to work well and I adopted it for myself after seeing
it there.
Of course, naming will always be a matter of taste. For instance I would not
write maybe_something, because I prefer camel case, that is, maybeSomething.
On the other hand, I already wrote some Wiki articles that you may read as
suggestions for certain naming conventions:
Well, Maybe IS a monad, so I just use m prefix.
