Hi Paul,
You're right - if I think about it, I'm not really looking for "the documentation", but more a paper or article which is "a tour of the GHC standard library".
A tour of the Prelude: http://undergraduate.csse.uwa.edu.au/units/230.301/lectureNotes/tourofprelud... Only a few of the standard libraries are useful unless you are doing something specific. i.e. Data.Maybe is generally useful, but Control.Monad.State is only useful if you are using a state monad. If someone wrote a tour of Data.List/Data.Maybe as well as a few common functions out of Control.Monad that would probably make a nice companion to a tour of the prelude. Thanks Neil
