> Oh FFS, _don't do that_. I won't. But you are the one proposing this functionality and asking why it isn't there already. I thought the obvious fact that it won't work in practice for many built in or easily constructed types might be one such reason. Same for Show instances for functions, of course. (If you'd made clear from the start that when you say "Enum a, Bounded a" you really mean "Bool", you might have avoided these replies that you apparently find offensive.) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
