It is implemented in GHC HEAD:

Hi,
I'm looking for one book that explains programming in Haskell. Is
there a book that explains everything? It appears that there are many
books, but each book is ~200 pages and each explains only basics. I'm
looking for one big complete book. (Something like "Thinking in C++" or
"C++ How to program" but in Haskell).
Emanuel

I think that "Real World Haskell"
(http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/) is what you're looking for.

Hi Emanuel
I haven't read the "Thinking in C++" so I can't compare it with any haskell
resource but here are some links which you can use for learning
1. http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters
2. http://book.realworldhaskell.org/

If you are interested in NLP so try this one
http://nlpwp.org/book/index.xhtml. You can see more detailed list on
Haskell wiki
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Learning_Haskell.

No, because it would be bigger than you could lift and would contain a lot
of stuff you probably don't care about (are you really interested in how
Haskell interacts with category theory? As a working programmer, are you
interested in exploring the outer corners of type theory?)

I know "Learn You a Haskell" and "Real World Haskell". They are very
helpful, but there is number of topics not covered by these books.
I want to learn Haskell in finite time, but having infinite number of
resources will not help (books, wiki pages, tutorials, blogs, articles,
I'm probably overestimating, but this is how it looks from beginner
perspective).
After "Learn You a Haskell" and "Real World Haskell" I was jumping
from topic to topic at Wiki. And it blows my mind, I don't know what I
don't know, and this is very bad. So I have a list of topics that I'm
aware of, and I need to study them:
Arrows
Continuation passing style
Existentially quantified types
Generalised algebraic data-types
Functional reactive programming
Data structures (not lists, not maps and not binary trees, data
structures in general)
Dynamic types
Heterogenous collections
Phantom types
Template Haskell
Functional dependencies
But I'm afraid that many things will be untouched with that approach.
For example I've found that map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] is really
map :: forall a b. (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b], I've found ~ (in pattern
matching) and I've found a way to set a field with record syntax (val
{ feld1 = 'a', field2 = 0}). All this by clicking random links on wiki
and google. The problem is, I don't have a roadmap. I was looking for a
book that describes all what I need to know, and it points out
everything what I need or could learn.
If such a book doesn't exist, where can I find a list (finite) of
"must read" resources to fully understund Haskell (or at last in 80%)?

Yes. Haskell touches on a *lot* of things, and it's not even remotely
practical to try to digest all of them, especially as a beginner. You do
not want to do this, and you do not *need* to do this.

Finite time means you're not going to learn everything, sorry. The world
is bigger than you are.
