In Haskell, is there a built-in function that creates a list of one element?

Question

Looking for a built-in function that will do the following:

mklist x = [x]

The benefit is that I can use it in a composition to create a list of one element. Understand that (replicate 1) is available but is there a more direct function? Would be useful in situations like this:

["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"] >>= mklist . ("Hello " ++)

Answer 1

Monadic return:

return x

Or:

(:[]) x

It's less characters, but more shift-key usage, so might be harder to type.
