Why does
bifoldLeft
have
left
in its name? It seems similar to
fold
with the addition of an extra initial property passed in to both the left and right lambdas. Would it make more sense for this to just be named
bifold
?

That's because it operates from left to right since some functions (like foldRight) operate from Right to left (i.e. end to start)
