Description

@int-index

GHC Proposal #475 states that the name List, an alphanumeric identifier synonymous with the [] builtin syntax, is to be exported from GHC.List. This change was implemented in GHC commit 02279a9c37 and made it into GHC 9.6 without an explicit CLC approval.

I retroactively ask the CLC to consider this change. The impact is minimal, as GHC.List is rarely imported directly. Reexporting List from Data.List is discussed at #182.
