Is this really good? First, I’m not only talking about prelude stuff but also stuff from other libraries. Second, the page “The Other Prelude” states right at the beginning that this project is (just) a fun project. However, I mean my comment very seriously. My agenda is not “This would be nice but won’t be realized anyway.” but “I really want to see this implemented.”.
