Drastic Prelude changes imminent

[Erik Hesselink]

Oh, I agree in general. I just don't see the migration path towards
this, because as you say, Data.List is generally imported unqualified
and often without explicitly naming the imported identifiers.

The only thing I can think of is to generalize Data.List when
generalizing the prelude, but also introduce e.g. Data.List.Mono which
has all the monomorphic variants.
