Subject: | Seemingly inconsistent labels for List module |
I've noticed what appear to be inconsistent labelling on some list functions, and I'm wondering if I'm properly understanding the reasons behind the way the labels work. For example, in the various association list functions, in some cases the association list is passed with a ~map label, and sometimes with no label. Another odd case is the mem and memq functions, both of which label the list being queried with the label ~set. In this case, the labelling mostly seems kind of useless rather than inconsistent. I'm asking all of this because I'm playing around with writing a labelled version of the extlib interface, and I'm wondering whether these are mistakes that should be fixed, or whether there are good reasons for them and they should be preserved.
