Considering these naming conventions:
http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Monad.html#3
• A postfix 'M' always stands for a function in the Kleisli category:
The monad type constructor m is added to function results (modulo
currying) and nowhere else. So, for example,
filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
filterM :: (Monad m) => (a -> m Bool) -> [a] -> m [a]
• A postfix '_' changes the result type from (m a) to (m ()). Thus,
for example:
sequence :: Monad m => [m a] -> m [a]
sequence_ :: Monad m => [m a] -> m ()
• A prefix 'm' generalizes an existing function to a monadic form.
Thus, for example:
sum :: Num a => [a] -> a
msum :: MonadPlus m => [m a] -> m a
replicateM has the following type:
replicateM :: Monad m => Int -> m a -> m [a]
Am I missing something or should this have been called mreplicate?
