 Programmer may like to use "undefined" to define a function or value,
 which usually means "later implementation".

 However, people might forget to implement it thus cause run time error.
 Wish GHC will show some warning/errors at compilation.

 This idea comes from this article (http://www.devalot.com/articles/2013/07
