val cleavewhile : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

Same, but split point controlled by a predicate, which is true for elements in the first returned list. e.g cleavewhile even [2;4;5;6] produces ([2;4], [5;6])

val cleavewhile_unordered : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

As couple, but an extra unary function is applied to any last (odd) element.

val couple_reduce : ('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> 'a list -> 'a

Apply couple repeatedly until only one element remains. Return that element.

val pair : ('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> 'a list -> 'a list

A similar function to couple, but the coupling is non-overlapping. So pair ( + ) [1; 2; 3; 4] is 3; 7.

val pair_ext : ('a -> 'a -> 'b) -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

A version of pair which adds a unary function for the singleton, much like couple_ext.

Return the first, middle and last elements of a list which has length at least two. Otherwise, raise Invalid_argument.

val really_drop_evens : 'a list -> 'a list

Same as drop_evens, but don't save the last element.

val drop_odds : 'a list -> 'a list

Remove the first, third etc. The last odd element is not saved. e.g drop_odds [1;2;3;4;5;6;7] is [2;4;6].
