I noticed the Bool datatype isn't well documented. Since Bool is not a common English word, I figured it could use some haddock to help clarify it for newcomers.
My only problem with it is that it's called Bool, while every other programming language on Earth calls it Boolean.
(Or at least, the languages that *have* a name for it...)
Algol 68, C99, C++, C#, Standard ML, OCAML, F#, Clean all use 'bool', not 'Boolean'. Of course if you want to go for historical priority, that'd be Fortran's LOGICAL type...
