Proposal: Add singleton function to Data.List module

[Zemyla]

I also like the ninja-robot operator, because it's visually
interesting and easy to search for.

Also, if you're importing several libraries which already use
"singleton", then you have to use "List.singleton" every time, which
is far uglier to me.
