| Now that IS an interesting idea. The more I think about it, the more I
like it.

I like it too.  But be aware that a top-level definition 

	reverse = foldr (\x ys -> ys ++ [x]) []

would get the inferred type

	[()] -> [()]

because it'd be monomorphic, and completely un constrained type
variables are defaulted to (), in GHC at least.
