Hello Happy Haskellers,
I would like to humbly suggest that we replace all Int functions in the prelude with the corresponding generic ones. These are: drop, take, length, splitAt, replicate and (!!).
If at all possible it would be grand if we replaced the ones in Data.List (such as elemIndex) and other modules too!
Irradicate Irritating Ints! There I said it!
On the downside, this means that I couldn't just say: take 5 mylist I'd instead have to write: take (5::Int) mylist I don't like having to do that. -- John
