so:

-- |iterate function over list
map :: (a->b) -> [a] -> [b]

-- |find length of list
length :: [a] -> Int

private:

map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs
map f []     = []

length xs = length# xs 0#

length# (x:xs) n# = length# xs (n# +# 1)
length# []     n# = n#


and in order to see map's type or comment when i implement it, i
should see to other part of file. i personally prefer to have
public/private modifiers on each function and gather interface
documentation by tools like haddock
