[Haskell-cafe] [] \\ [1..] diverges - intended?

[Niklas Hambüchen]

Hi,

I just noticed that

  import Data.List
  [] \\ [1..]

diverges, although technically it doesn't have to (the docs suggest to
me that it could just be [], and a non-diverging implementation is
possible).

Same for [1,2] \\ [1..] of course.

Was this intended?
