Monolithic and Large prelude

[S. Alexander Jacobson]

I am writing code that would like to use the word "product" as a field
selector for a Product (object representing something for sale).
Unfortunately, it can't easily use "product" because the prelude claims
the word for multiplication.  

I would like to lobby to move sum and product to the list library.
Or, to rename them listSum, listProduct.
(so that a user can use the names sum and product for whatever is their
primary data structure e.g. tree)

I tried just to limit import of prelude list.  But when I try to import
qualified PreludeList, Hugs tells me that it can't find the file.

Hugs also doesn't want to allow me to import only a specific subset of
prelude.  Specifically, it does not allow me to import (:).
