[Haskell-cafe] How to get subset of a list?

[Dan Weston]

Your curious example suggests you might be solving a more specialized 
problem, like selecting the diagonal of a flattened matrix. In this 
case, there are much better (and more efficient) data structures that 
enforce invariants (like squareness of a matrix), if that is what you in 
fact are doing.
