6. My module applies  Data.Set.null (s :: Set a),
  and                         null (xs :: [a]).

 Why ghc reports of the clash with  GHC.List.null ?
 Is  GHC.List  same as old  List  library module?
 Should I write
                import GHC.List (genericLength, null)
 instead of     import List     (genericLength)
 ?
As the documentation reads:

This module is intended to be imported qualified, to avoid name clashes with Prelude <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Prelude.html> functions. eg.

 import Data.Set as Set



So, you should write:

import qualified Data./x/ as /y/

Now, no name clashes will occur. However, you will have to write /y/.null to access null in /x/, for example:

import qualified Data.Set as Set

if (Set.null ...) then ... else ...
