Comment (by simonpj):

 Currently they are defined to desugar to `fromList <the list>` and
 `fromList` ''is'' rebindable.

 You need `-XOverloadedLists` on to get this; see the
 [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html
 #overloaded-lists manual section].

 I'll add a note to the user manual.
