Re: 2533: Generic functions that take integral arguments should work the same way as their prelude counterparts

      BTW, where can I put tests for Data.List functions?

http://darcs.haskell.org/testsuite/tests/libraries/Data/test_List.hs

has not been updated in almost two years, and includes only two good tests.

The Prelude functions drop, take, and splitAt are unfailing (never
call error). This patch changes the Data.List generic versions to
behave the same way. At present, they call error on negative
arguments.
