+-- This legacy module provides access to the list-specialised operations
+-- of "Data.List". This module may go away again in future GHC versions and
+-- is provided as transitional tool to access some of the list-specialised
+-- operations that had to be generalised due to the implementation of the

+-- recommended to avoid importing this module and use "GHC.List"
+-- instead for now.
