Jul 18, 2018 at 14:26 comment added Mark Canlas Six years later, I am a different programmer, with slightly more knowledge of Haskell things. I no longer endorse this answer, haha. I guess my idea at the time was to use the word "maybe" to signify that the function handles some sort of optionality. I still do that sometimes (e.g. Option[A] => B is called maybeToB)
