I have just noticed that the latest(?) version of the Haskell Library
Report (28 Oct 96) seems to have an anomaly. The functions
genericLength, genericDrop, genericTake, etc have been omitted from the
List library. However, the 1.3 and 1.4 Language Reports specifically
refer to genericLength by way of example, despite an absence of any
definition.
genericLength is a useful function, and I would prefer to see it
retained in the library.
