length is identical to genericLength in ListLike except type signature.
but still,
import Data.Number
import Data.List
import qualified Data.ListLike as L
(3 :: Natural) < genericLength [1..] (work)
(3 :: Natural) < L.genericLength [1..] (non-terminating)

If you want laziness, L.genericLength should be defined like this
L.genericLength [] = 0
L.genericLength (_:l) = 1 + L.genericLength l
the genericLength used in ListLike package used tail recursion while 
non-strict.
and also, a strict length is still needed (currently, length is 
identical to genericLength)

Thank you
