car = head

letting the compiler infer the type, or

car :: [a] -> a
car = head

for the explicit version.

How do I create an alias for a function, like giving CAR the same functionality as HEAD. I know I can do it by creating a definition (see below), but is there a better way, like Scheme's

(define head car)

car ::  [a] -> a
car x = head x

The reason for doing this is to more closely mirror legacy code.
