I liked Andreas's idea (cited below). Hence the new package
prelude-prime.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/prelude-prime
Pull requests are welcome, but let's stick to widely agreed changes
(like the Foldable/Traversable one). I think one of the reasons why
other Preludes haven't been adopted is because they were too radical.
Let's see whether people here can put their code where their mouth is :)
