which I hope covers the essence of the result of this thread.

I'd hate to have to import things like Data.Function for such trivial
functions as (.) and ($), which are so often used that they become
almost like control structures and keywords in themselves. What did
people think of my idea of a stripped down prelude containing
primarily the functions like (.) and ($)? Here'd be my list:

1. Almost like control structures
otherwise
(.)
flip
($)

2. To make including literals sane
Char
String
Int
Integer
Num(..)

3. Other basic functions
Eq(..)
Ord((<), (>), (<=), (>=))
Show(show)

4. Miscellaneous
id
const
undefined

Of course, the precise details would be debateable.
