Hi all,
There is something about polymorphic tests in QuickCheck that I do not
understand.

If you write the simplest dummy test function

tst :: a -> Bool
tst _ = True

and evaluate it we get

> verboseCheck tst
0:
()
1:
()
...

How come did the polymorphic value a get instanciated to ()? Is this done
via the Testable type class?
Could someone please explain this to me? I'm not saying it does not make
sense, but I would like to understand how it works. Being possible to change
this behavior, this is, assign another "default type" whenever polymorphic
types occur, would be awesome.

Cheers,
hugo
