First, the Users Guide (8.0.1.20161117) in section 10.32.6,List fusion,
should mention length as a good consumer.
Secondly, it says: "If you want to write your own good consumers or
producers, look at the Prelude
definitions of the above functions to see how to do so." However if you go
to https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/Prelude.html and
look at the source code for length you end up at
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/src/Data.Foldable.html#length
which is not a good consumer. I think the User's Guide should be changed
to replace "Prelude" with
"https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/src/GHC.List.html".
