For example say I had 'A' I could call the function like so:

          Yes, exact same name but the arguments are switched.



          http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.6.0.1/docs/Prelude.html#v:replicate



          If you go to hoogle you can search functions by type signature and name.



          http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?hoogle=Char+-%3E+Int+-%3E+String



          See that replicate was the 3rd result.
