I thought [1, 2, 3] :: [Int]
GHC says it's (Num t) > [t]
Okay, when it comes to 3.3:[1,2,3] (Num t) => [t] makes more sense.
Is that the only reason?
The Haskell 98 standard says that numeric literals are of type Num t
=> t (so you don't need to fromIntegral everything that looks like an
Int but is used with e.g. Doubles). Therefore a list of them is Num t
=> [t].
