[Hs-Generics] patch applied (generics): Nested data types for Smash. Less easy, but possible -- and even a bit insightful.

Tue Jun 19 03:53:35 PDT 2007 oleg@okmij.org * Nested data types for Smash. Less easy, but possible -- and even a bit insightful. Nested data types with Smash is a bit less obvious: polymorphic recursion in the presence of constraints doesn't quite work. Smash is more general than is required for this task. The solution is nevertheless possible and short. It also illustrates how to pass generic functions as arguments without any need for higher-rank types. So, Smash's generic functions are first-class, and have always been. It just goes to show to higher-rank is already present in Haskell98.
