As ibotty said, I named the anonymous inner worker function `go`. From what I can tell, it seems to be pretty common in Haskell.

As for `>>=` (also known as `bind`), I'm using it as a more generic version of `concatMap`. The following expressions are basically the same:

    concat (map (\ x -> [x, -x]) [1, 2, 3])
    concatMap (\ x -> [x, -x]) [1, 2, 3]
    [1, 2, 3] >>= \ x -> [x, -x]
