I'm working on a GHC plugin (for compiling Haskell to hardware), and I need to synthesize Typeable (and maybe other) class dictionaries for a wide range of types, including composite types (functions, pairs, lists, etc). Can it be done, and how? I think I'm mainly looking for mechanics of finding existing class instances (however they're defined) and assembling them (for parametrized/composite dictionaries), rather than mechanisms specific to Typeable.
