Comment (by bergmark):

 I would like to see the partial functions removed as well. toList is
 total,  which makes fromList the most natural name for converting to a
 NonEmpty, but nope it's partial! Use nonEmpty instead. There's also a
 partial IsList instance, I really don't want literals to be able to crash
 at runtime.
