Indeed:

$ cabal install repr    # [1]
...
$ ghci
Prelude> :m Text.Repr
Prelude Text.Repr> show (1 + 2 :: Repr Int) == show (2 + 1 :: Repr Int)
False

because:
show (1 + 2 :: Repr Int) == "1 + 2"
show (2 + 1 :: Repr Int) == "2 + 1"

but note:
Prelude Text.Repr> (1 + 2 :: Repr Int) == (2 + 1 :: Repr Int)
True
