I've been including newtype Foo in a Common.hs module that is included in both, as I would in C or C++. This sort of thing can easily get more complicated as the program grows however.
That is exactly what I would do, and is a common practice. For example, you will often see a module named something like 'Foo.Bar.Types' which contains declarations of common types which are used in many other modules. I am not sure what you mean when you say that this can get complicated as the program grows. I have some fairly large packages using this technique and in practice I have not seen much complication. Can you give an example of the sort of complication you mean? -Brent
