Not at all. Silly it to call differently the functions that compute
the same map.
Also silly is to have quotRem & divMod
instead of quotRem <mode>.

Observation on the literature.
There appeared a nice manner for the public discussion introduced
recently by M.Kowalsky and encouraged by L.Augustsson:
using elengantly the words "silly", "ugly", "crazy", "blathering",
and so on.
The Haskell place is in bloom, enjoying concentration of culture.
