[Haskell-cafe] Code Golf

[Matt Morrow]

I think this has the semantics you're looking for. (it would probably be
somewhat prettier if "mappend" wasn't such an ugly identifier (compared to,
say, (++)), but this is just me trying to sneak a shot in against the Monoid
method's names ;)

ghci> let diag = foldr (curry (prod mappend fst snd . uncurry (coprod
mappend (splitAt 2) (splitAt 1)))) []

ghci> diag [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
[1,2,4,3,5,7,6,8,9]
ghci> diag [[1,2,3],[4],[5,6,7]]
[1,2,4,3,5,6,7]
