Why is it not public? It is listed in the base API docs:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/System-Even...
Because it's not explicitly designed to be. Eventually it should be. We designed it as a separate library and didn't change the names when merging it into GHC (that was painful enough as it was). I did send a patch to add a comment to that affect to the GHC mailing list but perhaps it never got applied. Johan
