Hi
data Bool = False | True
  deriving (Eq, Or, Show, Read)

Bool is an instance of Eq, Ord, Show and Read. It is derived form these classes. If that is the meaning of the keyword deriving then wouldn't a different keyword such as from or derivative or even derivation be closer to the semantics of the concept?
Discuss :-)

Cheers,
Paul
