We could have a module

Data.List.ReallyJustListsAndNotSomeThingMoreGeneric

which implements concat and friends just for lists and could be imported if one wants to have the list operations. Currently,

import qualified Data.List as List

does not give on the list operations as e.g.

List.concat

but the generic ones.

I have compiled the package prelude-compat for that purpose: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/prelude-compat
