[clean-list] [ standards design ] StdEnv StdList ( instance toString [x] ) -- possibly superfluous behavior

[TK]

Greetings, my friends!




What is the rationale behind such standard design for this function? Should
there be none, it might be beneficial if it was removed( or at least moved
to StdLib ). Better standard behavior might be sought as well.

instance toString [x] | toChar x
    where
    toString::![x] -> {#Char} | toChar x
    toString xs = ltosacc 0 xs (createArray l ' ')
    where
        l                    = length xs
        ltosacc i [h:t] arr    = ltosacc (inc i) t {arr & [i]=toChar h}
        ltosacc _ []    arr    = arr




All the best!
