I support both reducing the prelude to just a few commonly used combinators, and requiring an explicit import Prelude.

Just to clear things up: would you need to do an import Prelude to get at these few commonly used combinators, or would the import pull in the 'wider' Prelude, with a more expansive selection, more akin to the current Prelude?

I would vote for a Combinators module with the most important combinators, and a somewhat larger Prelude to support quick scripts and demonstrations. Jeffrey
