So Ertugrul, as an experienced Haskeller which of these do you put in your 
code for a singleton list (whether appearing in a pattern or as an expression):
    [x]
    (x: [])

Or perhaps you mix them, depending on whether you want to be more suggestive 
of an empty list [] or an unknown-length list (x: xs)?
