We could reexported the function [Control.Monad.void] in both places so we don't have to break code that depends on its current location.
That would not only not break code, it would also be a step towards bringing Monad and Functor closer together. If the change is made, I think this is the best way.
Add [irrefutable swap] to Data.Tuple.
Seeing Henning's answer - "better expand libraries than importing outcasts" - I'd be happy with that. It would also make a better case against the "import Data.Tuple is one char less than defining swap yourself" argument: if the module is larger, it makes more (often) sense to import it.
I don't think we should add any more functions to the Prelude. It's a module that's automatically put into scope into every module (unless you explicitly use NoImplicitPrelude). Putting things in a global namespace like that is bad.
I see and agree. Scratch the Prelude part. David
