drop for negative argument

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Quite right.  Ross fixed this in November, so it'll be in 6.4.

| Hello,
| 
| I found that in GHC.List, drop is defined so that
| 
| drop (-1) ls = [],
| 
| which probably is a typing-error, since it disobeys the
| 
| splitAt n ls == (take n ls, drop n ls)
| 
| rule. I suggest changing that in future releases.
