Pretty cool once you know what the function does, but I must admit I wouldn't immediately guess the purpose of the function when written in this way.

I wouldn't immediately guess the purpose of the function written in any way.

I think, in general, the best way to document the purpose of the function is

   -- | Split a function into a sequence of partitions of specified lenth    takeList :: [Int] -> [a] -> [[a]]
