That's because (+) is implicitly imported from the Prelude. If you
import Prelude hiding ((+))

Sure, you can define your own type class like that:
import Prelude hiding ((+), (-)) -- usual (+) and (-) shouldn't be here...
import qualified Prelude as P -- but they still are accessible with a prefix
class Group a where
(+) :: a - a - a
(-) :: a - a - a
instance Group Integer where
Haskell does not play as well with overloading as one would do it in C++;
every
name used must be fully qualified. Indeed, if we try something like
Indeed, if we try something like

Hi,
For example, I have a data A defined. Then I want to add (+) and (-)
operators to it, as a sugar (compared to addA/minusA). But * or other
stuff defined in class Num is meanless to A. So I just do:
(+) :: A - A - A
(+) a b =
A (elem1 a + elem1 b) (elem2 a + elem2 b) -- I got errors here,
