Indeed, this is due to the monomorphic Data.List proposal, which the<br>
CLC decided would accompany the addition of Data.List.singleton. The<br>
correct fix here is to either qualify the import of `Data.List` or add<br>
an explicit import list. I'll try to remember to add a note about this<br>
to the release notes and migration guide.<br>
