But there is a difference in meaning. Left shortcuts, Right doesn't.

It would be bad to name it after error handling, but the entirely meaningless names aren't great either.

Left only shortcuts because of the implementation of the map function. There could just as easily be mapLeft and mapRight functions instead, allowing you to choose the shortcut behaviour.
