I should have said that the situation in H98 is quite bad. There you can't make default instances. On Dec 7, 2006, at 07:49 , Johannes Waldmann wrote:

Speaking of wishlist, I'd also like to see context synonyms, e.g., context C a = (Ord a, Num a)
The current situation is quite bad, there's no way to abstract contexts.
except by writing extra classes that encode the context, see for example class NFAC: http://141.57.11.163/cgi-bin/cvsweb/lib/Autolib/NFA/Data.hs.drift? rev=1.16
but this is of course only a hack, and it duplicates information since you have to repeat the context in the default instance. At least this happens only in one place, so it is useful. -- -- Johannes Waldmann -- Tel/Fax (0341) 3076 6479/80 -- ---- http://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/~waldmann/ -------
