What about implementing something like map for lists? You know literally nothing about the values and the function except for their types.

    map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
    map f [] = []
    map f (a:as) = f a : map f as

Personally I don't see any reason to use longer names than f, a, and as because you can't add any additional information.

You might say "well I don't write code like that", and I don't have any answer for you. But I find I write a fair amount of generic code.
