I think that introducing foldl1' would be a step in the wrong direction. It's unfortunate that Foldable was brought into base with the partial functions foldl1, foldr1, maximum, and minimum. If anything, I would argue that we should try to relegate them to http://hackage.haskell.org/package/semigroupoids-5.2.2/docs/Data-Semigroup-Foldable.html where they belong.

Good evening.

I notice Data.Foldable ain't got no `foldl1'`, while `foldl'` and
`foldl1` are both there. Is there a reason? What will it take to have
it introduced?

I refer to this specific version, which is to my understanding the
latest to have been released:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.10.1.0/docs/Data-Foldable.html

Thank you.
