This reads a bit better to me:
Strictness properties
=====================
This module is strict in keys and values. In particular,
* key and value function arguments passed to functions are
evaluated to WHNF before the function body is evaluated, and
* keys and values returned by high-order function arguments are
evaluated to WHNF before they are inserted into the map.
Here are some examples:
insertWith (+) k undefined m == undefined
delete undefined m == undefined
map (\ v -> undefined) == undefined
mapKeys (\ k -> undefined) == undefined
Any ideas for further improvements?
