Does anyone even know of a workaround? Given this, find an implementation of 'f' that retrieves the contents of its 'D' argument:
class C a b | a -> b
data D a = forall b. (C a b) => MkD b
f :: (C a b) => D a -> b -- f (MkD b) = b won't compile
It's very annoying if it can't be done.
Oh, I suppose I can always do this: data D a b = MkD b ...so perhaps in all fairness it's not quite so annoying. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
