Changes (by chak):

  * failure:  GHC rejects valid program => Compile-time crash


Comment:

 GHC shouldn't panic, but instead give a proper error message, but the
 definition of transpose in Handy.hs is incorrect. It uses list pattern
 matching with `(:)` for parallel arrays. That is impossible as they are
 not inductively defined.
