@bvenners @dibblego Anecdotally, \/, \/-, and -\/ are all well understood by a team I work with of 20+. Some of those others, not so much.

@mpilquist @bvenners ||| is established unlike "orElse" which has ambiguous meaning in scala. The naming obsession is way out of control.

@dibblego @bvenners Of the ones Bill listed, ||| is probably next most obvious. I agree with naming obsession in general though. Witness \@/

@dibblego @bvenners Correction, \&/. Point is, \&/ is easier to understand than These or EitherOrBoth.

@mpilquist @bvenners the naming obsession is entirely a matter of students misinforming themselves and others how to form sound concepts.

@dibblego @bvenners I don't disagree but is there not some value to accessibility for those less versed in the library?

@mpilquist @bvenners naming obsession is an ineffective method to form valid concepts. This is why those who understand no longer obsess.

@dibblego @bvenners Not entirely convinced of the *complete* ineffectiveness of names but exposing the obsession is valuable IMO.
