#8797: Generics instances for monoid and applicative newtypes -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: jcristovao | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Hi, Is there any particular reason why there aren't Generic instances for the newtypes under Data.Monoid and Control.Applicative (for example)? I've tried adding them to GHC/Generics.hs and base compiles without problems. Could this addition be considered?
