I thought I expounded on that, too. If there were a facility to 'name' (in a general sense, not as in the function namespace) instance declarations, it'd facilitate (by way of some further, hypothetical language extension) specifying _explicitly_ which declarations should be construed as overriding which others, when they would otherwise be seen to clash. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
