I try to write a function "liftN", but I'm not satisfied with result.
lift :: (MonadTrans t) => Monad m => m a -> t m a
liftN n | n < 1 = error "liftN: n<1" | n == 1 = lift | otherwise = lift . (liftN (n-1))
1) I know(?), that it is impossible to write liftN now: typechecker can't decide which signature it is.
You should check out the solutions for encoding polyvariadic functions, e.g. * <http://community.haskell.org/~wren/wren-extras/dist/doc/html/wren-extras/Data-List-ZipWithN.html> * <http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/polyvariadic.html#polyvartype-fn> * <http://paczesiowa.blogspot.com/2010/03/generalized-zipwithn.html> * <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/TypeCompose-0.9.9/docs/Data-Zip.html> -- Live well, ~wren
