Description
Description
Based on the original proposal in Haskell:
https://wiki.haskell.org/MonadPlus_reform_proposal
But taking into account in Haskell it could be tricky, whereas here it seems to be simpler.
Actually we don' t have a MonadPlus at all, since we don't have typeclasses, just single operations and abstractions that are represented by those groups of operations.
Moreover, we use the Alternative notation instead of the MonadPlus, so I propose to use:
<|>fororElse<+>forappend
Open questions
Which one will be the one used for monad.plus computation expressions?
