Description
As the description says; it's not valid to suggest use :[] when using something like \x -> [x] in the presence of OverloadedLists. I hence think it would be good to not fire that lint by default.

Research direction
Start by locating the lint rule that suggests use :[] and the tests covering that suggestion. Reproduce the OverloadedLists case with \x -> [x], then add a regression test showing the lint is disabled by default. Done means the suggestion no longer fires by default in that context.
