!! package:ghc-lib-parser

List index (subscript) operator, starting from 0. It is an instance of the more general genericIndex, which takes an index of any integral type. WARNING: This function is partial, and should only be used if you are sure that the indexing will not fail. Otherwise, use !?. WARNING: This function takes linear time in the index.
