I don't think that's entirely fair. Most of the libraries that come with GHC (and Hugs, and soon Nhc) are documented. See for example
Maybe I just always need awkward ones, but all I usually see here is a couple of general sentences for a module and a bunch of function names and type signatures.
Function names and type signatures are a lot better than nothing ;-) But seriously, the "non-standard" libraries are, at the moment, far better documented than the standard ones (where "standard" means those libraries defined by the Haskell 98 report and their hierarchical equivalents). The example you gave, Data.List.nub, is a function from the standard Haskell 98 List library. Contributions of documentation for any libraries are always welcome, of course! Cheers, Simon
