Firstly, what's the use case that you want to deal with lists? If it's for efficiency, you'd probably be better off using a Vector instead.
That is a good point, and I wanted to go that way, but was not sure it would help me a lot here. My use case is for services where there is a "bulk" API, such as Redis pipelining or Elasticsearch bulk inserts. The network round-trip gains would exceed by far those from a List to Vector conversion.
But I think the inverse of `concat` is `singleton = Data.Conduit.List.map return`, or `awaitForever $ yield . return`, using the list instance for Monad. Your conduitMap could be implemented then as:
conduitMap conduit = concat =$= conduit =$= singleton
I can see how to do singleton, but that would gain me ... singletons. That means I could not exploit a bulk API.
