[Haskell-cafe] Location Of Prelude.hs

[Tikhon Jelvis]

A useful trick is that you can access the source of a function or type
directly by clicking the 'source' link to the right of the name in the
documentation[1]. This will take you to the module where the identifier was
defined rather than where it was imported from. (For example, Maybe is
defined in Data.Maybe[2].)
