It looks like a mistake to me, too.

| The definition of Maybe (at least in the Hugs prelude) is:
|
| data Maybe a = Just a | Nothing
| deriving (Eq, Ord, Read, Show)
|
| The (to me) unfortunate consequence of this is that "Nothing" is the upper
| bound of the type (as opposed to the lower bound, which makes more sense to
| me intuitively).
|
| Was this a conscious design decision?
| ...and if so, why?
|
| Thanks.
