Comment:
I'm not convinced that a flag to alter library function definitions is a
good idea.
If you want a different definition then you can always define a new
function yourself (possibly calling the standard function for the non-[]
case).
If you think that the standard definition should be changed then you will
need to follow http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions.
Also, I'm not sure that the alternate definition you propose really helps
you; you'll still need to write an explicit case for [] anyway. It does
mean that you'll get a runtime error rather than the program continuing
regardless, admittedly.
