yes, and it was proposed numerous times. but other parameter-less
collection implementations can still exist

btw, i've attached my own demo of such class together with example of
generic foldr

i also have proposed to extend syntax of (:), [] (including pattern
matching) in Haskell' to use this class operations instead of be bound to
lazy lists
