Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I agree that the generic versions should match the behaviour of the Int-
specific versions. As I recall, the Int-specific Prelude functions
originally called error, but this was changed around the time of Haskell
1.4/H'98. The failure to change the generic versions at the same time was
just an oversight.
