I'm no expert - but I can't think of any difference at all.

This is a trickier question: should "take 0 undefined" by [] or  
undefined? I'm not sure what the best choice is. I suppose it makes  
sense to stick with the behaviour of Data.List and return an empty  
list, even if any program that relies on this not being undefined is  
probably broken. I've uploaded a new version.

Thanks for your comments!
