Taylor,
Is it really necessary for you to be so rude? I can assure you that my
proposal has been made in the same good faith as your proposal which
inspired mine.
Besides that unnecessary snark you do make an excellent point regarding the
poor discoverability of the list constructor which I imagine must cause a
lot of confusion among newcomers.Thank you for keeping an open mind!

meant to make fun of my list singleton proposal. In spite of that, I am in favor of this proposal. One of the (very minor!)
problems with lists in Haskell is that they can’t be documented with
Haddock because they’re part of the syntax. For example, if you search
Hoogle for `(:)` or `a -> [a] -> [a]` you won’t find the venerable list
constructor. You will find `cons` from the `extra` package, which I think
suggests that this proposal is a good idea. +1 On Sep 11, 2019, at 4:13 AM, Oliver Charles On Wed, Sep 11, 2019 at 7:36 AM Helmut Schmidt
I can't be the only that wants this function, right? You're not the only one! I would also like this function. In fact,
only yesterday I found myself writing ( x : ) <$> recurse xs I would have preferred cons x <$> recurse xs +1 to adding cons :: x -> [x] -> [x] to Data.List. Ollie
