G'day all.

Quoting Yitzchak Gale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Data types consist only of computable elements. Since there
are only countably many computable functions, every data type
has at most countably many elements. In particular, it is a set.

I still say it "isn't a set" in the same way that a group "isn't a set".
Haskell data types have structure that is respected by Haskell
homomorphisms.  Sets don't.

Cheers,
Andrew Bromage
