List.concat, List.append and terminology

I don’t want to open a great can of bike shedding here, but just give feedback on something that continues to confuse me: I keep mixing up List.concat and List.append with one another.

I do think the current names make sense once you think about them, but they are still so similar I always have to check the type signatures of concat and append to find out which one I want. Renaming one of them to make their uses more distinct is something I would personally appreciate. Using flatten instead of concat is the first thing that comes to my mind, since that’s also the terminology I’m used to, but YMMV :slightly_smiling_face:
