The [http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/317aa966b3d89e45227a5870feba339e34d77a18... beginning of the users' guide section] on GHC's extensions to `deriving` now mentions: {{{ * In Haskell 98, the only derivable classes are ``Eq``, ``Ord``, ``Enum``, ``Ix``, ``Bounded``, ``Read``, and ``Show``. `Various langauge extensions <#deriving-extra>`__ extend this list. }}} The `deriving-extra` section then proceeds to mention each of the remaining classes that are stock derivable. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13175#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
