I suppose you could add a newtype wrapper, but it _would_ require duplicating the API to do so. Though I would argue that unless you're trying to actually use for Show/Read for serialisation, does it really matter what the Show/Read instances for Bytestring are? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
