Dear all,
this was brought up on the GHC tracker (not by me)
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15921
and it was suggested for discussion here.
my summary: Data.List.maximumBy is right-biased, minimumBy is left-biased, and none of this is documented.
Already discussed at least twice: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2011-September/095150.html https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2013-September/020721.html There are justifications for the current behaviour, but documenting it can't harm anybody.
