The eternal bit of trickiness for Haskell is that type classes group
often together things that people don't immediately see as similar -
monads probably being the best example.
Well, that's the whole point of mathematics, isn't it? Mathematics is
just a way to name different things with one word (opposed to
philosophy, which is a way to name the same thing with different words).
