Yes.

No, the next one then wants fromDescList and fromDistinctDescList
(or fromReversedList). Let users reverse their lists.

Maybe even (the current) "fromAscList" is not really necessary, because 
toList only produces proper distinct ascending lists.(Thus 
fromDistinctAscList can be renamed to fromAscList.)
