I'm not sure if the maintainers would accept it.

You should keep in mind that these posix types are not necessarily the same system to system as the word sizes are dependent on the architecture of the machine involved, thus different machines would have to generate different instances.  If that is the case, it is probably fine to just live with orphan instances.

But it would be pretty easy to ask them.

Great,

now the real question ;)

I use Generic with aeson and I endup like plenty of other with these orphan instances definietion.

what is the right way to deal with this.

fill a bug against all these types and request instances for these typeclass.

or ?


Cheers
