Hi Frederik, [resending; as it bounced because of size.] That’s a tricky one. Let’s first recall that this one is still fine: *Main> :t cast True :: (Typeable a, Typeable b) => Maybe (a,b) cast True :: (Typeable a, Typeable b) => Maybe (a,b) :: (Typeable b,

Hi Ralf, Thanks. I'm sorry, now I think that wasn't the source of my problem. What I want to do is specialise not to a specific type like Bool but to the class of all pairs (a,b). But this causes the compiler to complain, even for simpler examples: cast True :: (Typeable a, Typeable b) => Maybe
