[generalized type of IntMap.intersectionWith(Key)
sedillard <at> gmail.com**20080516174305

 This patch brings the type of IntMap.intersectionWith(Key) in line with that of
 Map.intersectionWith(Key).

 was :: (a->b->a) -> IntMap a -> IntMap b -> IntMap a
 now :: (a->b->c) -> IntMap a -> IntMap b -> IntMap c

 I don't have the test suite but it works fine in GHCi

 *Data.IntMap> intersectionWith (,) (fromList $ zip [1..3] ['a'..'c'])
(fromList $ zip [1..3] ['A'..'C'])
 fromList [(1,('a','A')),(2,('b','B')),(3,('c','C'))]

] {
hunk ./Data/IntMap.hs 795
-intersectionWith :: (a -> b -> a) -> IntMap a -> IntMap b -> IntMap a
+intersectionWith :: (a -> b -> c) -> IntMap a -> IntMap b -> IntMap c
hunk ./Data/IntMap.hs 804
-intersectionWithKey :: (Key -> a -> b -> a) -> IntMap a -> IntMap b -> IntMap a
+intersectionWithKey :: (Key -> a -> b -> c) -> IntMap a -> IntMap b -> IntMap c
}

Context:

The rest of the 67K is context :)

Re: IntMap intersectionWith type is too restrictive
