I should have said that the situation in H98 is quite bad.
There you can't make default instances.

Speaking of wishlist, I'd also like to see context synonyms, e.g.,
context C a = (Ord a, Num a)

The current situation is quite bad, there's no way to abstract
contexts.

except by writing extra classes that encode the context,
see for example class NFAC:
http://141.57.11.163/cgi-bin/cvsweb/lib/Autolib/NFA/Data.hs.drift? rev=1.16

but this is of course only a hack, and it duplicates information
since you have to repeat the context in  the default instance.
At least this happens only in one place, so it is useful.
