Now, now, this is cruel and ati-pedagogical. I changed my mind, we should
all be friends, and help each other. Here is the ideal solution, very
fast, and protected against viral contamination
homework "x 2 3 4" = ("x", [2, 3, 4])
homework _ = error "You can't"
Note the cleverness and universalness of the solution.

PS. A deep philosophical quotation seems appropriate here. Here is one from
Douglas Adams:
Flying is an art, or rather a knack.
The knack consists in throwing oneself to ground, and miss.
