It is inconvenient for certain things. If I want to declare a

In this particular case, can't you just define showList?
Will GHCi use that automatically? Probably not... Nor can I
  write nice codez with print, printf, &c. I have to use my
  silly function now. I want to be in the Show typeclass for
  clarity as well as convenience.
