Drastic Prelude changes imminent

[Augustsson, Lennart]

I'm speaking in general terms, regardless of BBP.  Having Data.List export functions that are not list functions, but overloaded in the list type is so counter-intuitive that my brain hurts.
Where will I find the foldr with type (a->b->b) -> b -> [a] -> b, if not in Data.List?

I don't see why from your email, but my only point was that having both polymorphic versions of functions in the Prelude, and monomorphic ones in Data.List, will probably be worse than either of the other two options (the fully polymorphic version being prepared, and the status quo you want to keep).
