Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 This is a feature request to add something to a core library, and as such,
 you should run this by the
 [https://mail.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries libraries mailing
 list] first to ensure that there is community consensus to do this.

 It's worth noting that there have been previous proposals for this in the
 past, one of which is
 [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2016-January/026537.html
 this one] (from January 2016). That one ended with the consensus that this
 should //not// be added to `base`. Still, if you feel strongly otherwise,
 it might be worth bringing this up again—it's possible that public opinion
 has shifted since then.
