Karl, you are wrong. Mitch's code uses foldr twice on intermediate
structures. The containers themselves are traversed only once.
The double traversal of the intermediate structures is easy to
remove should you object to it, but it isn't worth our time to
show you how to improve Mitch's solution further until you come
to grips with the fact that Mitch's solution is a solution.
