basic-prelude
=============
The premise of `basic-prelude` is that there are a lot of very commonly desired
features missing from the standard `Prelude`, such as commonly used operators
(`<$>` and `>=>`, for instance) and imports for common datatypes (e.g.,
`ByteString` and `Vector`). At the same time, there are lots of other
components which are more debatable, such as providing polymorphic versions of
common functions.
So `basic-prelude` is intended to give a common foundation for a number of
alternate preludes. The package provides two modules: `CorePrelude` provides
the common ground for other preludes to build on top of, while `BasicPrelude`
exports `CorePrelude` together with commonly used list functions to provide a
drop-in replacement for the standard `Prelude`.
Users wishing to have an improved `Prelude` can use `BasicPrelude`. Developers
wishing to create a new prelude should use `CorePrelude`.
