commit 11441db9a00223a7e96678f3d621ac14fda634f8
Author: Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr at gnu.org>
Date:   Sat Mar 7 23:31:27 2015 +0100

    Add `GHC.OldList` legacy module
    
    This module provides access the list-specialised versions for legacy purposes
    (such as implementing Haskell2010-ish preludes). This module basically
    re-exports the hidden `Data.OldList` module (but in the less controversial `GHC.*`
    namespace, which signals less committment to keep this module around).
    
    This is legacy module is mostly for GHC 7.10's sake. What becomes long-term
    of `GHC.OldList` can be decided unhurriedly during the GHC 7.12 development
    cycle.
    
    (cherry picked from commit e76f86646229b3f8bcdc6ad71d464104c639f431)
