Re: Data.List documentation improvements

Hi

The deadline is Wednesday, December 6th.

That's incredibly soon, two days is just not enough time to do anything! I recommend a minimum deadline of a week for anything, some people may only catch up with their Haskell mail a couple of times a week. As for your patch, I think its great, and its exactly the type of thing that should be in the libraries documentation for pretty much everything. My only suggestion would be to include the "corner" cases: take 3 [1] = [1] drop 3 [1] = [] (ditto splitAt) i.e. show that they produce a result, not an error. Thanks Neil

Goal of my changes it to make list functions more accessible to Haskell newcomers. "Extracting sublists" section seems to have less complete documentation than rest of the module.

Added examples for all the functions. Added easier to understand summaries for composite functions.

Comments, suggestions, better descriptions?

Is it Ok to send the darcs patches as is or it is better to send only diffs without context? I'd like to keep patch in plain text, not compressed.

Thanks, Andriy
