[Haskell-cafe] Is there a printable copy of the (GHC) library references anywhere?

Hi Paul,

A tour of the Prelude:

http://undergraduate.csse.uwa.edu.au/units/230.301/lectureNotes/tourofprelude.html

Only a few of the standard libraries are useful unless you are doing
something specific. i.e. Data.Maybe is generally useful, but
Control.Monad.State is only useful if you are using a state monad.

If someone wrote a tour of Data.List/Data.Maybe as well as a few
common functions out of Control.Monad that would probably make a nice
companion to a tour of the prelude.

Thanks

Neil
