Data.List documentation improvements

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

> The deadline is Wednesday, December 6th.

That's incredibly soon, two days is just not enough time to do
anything! I recommend a minimum deadline of a week for anything, some
people may only catch up with their Haskell mail a couple of times a
week.

As for your patch, I think its great, and its exactly the type of
thing that should be in the libraries documentation for pretty much
everything. My only suggestion would be to include the "corner" cases:

take 3 [1] = [1]
drop 3 [1] = []

(ditto splitAt)

i.e. show that they produce a result, not an error.

Thanks

Neil
