Sure, I didn't mean that we should push it to Prelude - just that it was "worthy" of it (in the context of the bar David mentioned). Putting it in Data.Function is much more practical at this point in time.

The proposal was to include it in Data.Function, not Prelude. And I think this is good and lowers the barrier for addition. People only have to think about it only if they explicitly import it from Data.Function.
