Comment:

 The last change made the implementation and reported prelude version (and
 thus the documentation of elem_by) inconsistent, see
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2011-September/016758.html

 I propose to reverse the order or args under "USE_REPORT_PRELUDE", too,
 because I think, this is the right behavior and has the least impact.

 The filter predicate could also be written as "(not . (`eq` x))".

 "elem_by eq y xs" could be replaced by "any (eq y) xs" (and elem_by
 deleted), but I don't know if this has any performance impacts.
