* Clarify the documentation of foldl': That the arguments are forced before application (?) of `op` is necessarily true. What is important to stress is that we force every application of `op`, even when the value turns out to be unused. * Move the example before the comment about strictness to make it less confusing: It is a general example and doesn't really showcase anything about foldl' strictness. * Add test cases which nail down aspects of foldl' strictness: * The initial accumulator value is not forced unconditionally. * Applications of op are forced. * The list elements are not forced unconditionally.
