Say I have things like:
data LongDec = LongDef a b c ... x y z
values = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', ... 'x', 'y', 'z' ]
Now I want them to be "LongDef 'a' 'b' 'c' ... 'x' 'y' 'z'".
In form, this is something like folding. But since the type changes, so
code like following won't work:
foldl (\def value -> def value) LongDef values
Is it possible to do this in some way?

This hack works, in case that helps:
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, MultiParamTypeClasses #-}
data LongDec = LongDef Char Char Char Char Char Char
deriving Show
values = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'x', 'y', 'z' ]
class Apply a b c where
apply :: b -> [a] -> c
instance Apply a b b where
apply = const
instance (Apply a b c) => Apply a (a -> b) c where
apply f (x:xs) = apply (f x) xs
main = print (apply LongDef values :: LongDec)
It requires an explicit type annotation to fix type parameter 'c'. It
cannot be a function type. (I am not sure why though.)
