    Extend the docs for Data.List.transpose
    
    by giving a sufficient general example to explain what happens when the
    rows are not of the same lengths. Thanks to Doug McIlroy for the
    suggestoin. Fixes #10128.
    
    (cherry picked from commit c5977c2e2951e9e346a8f4990d5a6bbdbf9cee0b)
