Comment (by holmisen):

 Replying to [comment:12 dfeuer]:
 > I'd like to see some numbers for the fusion-capable version in various
 contexts. Also, I'm not fully convinced that this particular function is
 of sufficient general utility to include in `Data.List`.

 I have thought about compiling a list of use cases for this in a blog post
 or similar. Maybe now I'll actually get around to do that.
