Well, yeah, if you've got so much boiler plate that you have to automate generating the boilerplate, you're probably doing it wrong. ;-)

All I'm actually using it to do is generate a set of fixed-size containers (each of which has a bazillion class instances). I've got a variable-sized container, but sometimes it's useful to statically guarantee that a container is a specific size.

Have a look at how hmatrix-static does this for linear algebra while sitting on top of hmatrix (both are on hackage). Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
