choose : ('a, 'b) func -> 'a * 'b

SYNOPSIS
Picks an arbitrary element from the graph of a finite partial function.

DESCRIPTION
This is one of a suite of operations on finite partial functions, type ('a,'b)func. These may sometimes be preferable to ordinary functions since they permit more operations such as equality comparison, extraction of domain etc. If f is a finite partial function, choose f picks an arbitrary pair of values from its graph, i.e. a pair x,y where f maps x to y. The particular choice is implementation-defined, and it is not likely to be the most obvious `first' value.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Fails if and only if the finite partial function is completely undefined.

EXAMPLE
  # let f = itlist I [1 |-> 2; 2 |-> 3; 3 |-> 4] undefined;;
  val f : (int, int) func = 
  # choose f;;
  val it : int * int = (2, 3)
