Re: deriving...

Yes, I could quite easily write the generator in TemplateHaskell (have played with it before) _but_ I don't like the $(xxx) syntax... Perhaps if Simon could be persuaded to allow deriving clauses to be defined in TH?

data X x = X x $(deriveMyClass (reify X))

could perhaps be defined from

data X x = X x deriving MyClass

I saw the same suggestion earlier today on the Haskell list...

Check out Ulf Norell's IOHCC submission, his DeriveData.hs module does this, though I can't tell if it will work for parameterized types. -- Shae Matijs Erisson - Programmer - http://www.ScannedInAvian.org/ "I will, as we say in rock 'n' roll, run until the wheels come off, because I love what I do." -- David Crosby
