Re: [Haskell-cafe] Can we improve Show instance for non-ascii charcters?

This is by far the worst possible option. Incoherent instances lead to nightmarishly unpredictable behavior. On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 1:45 AM, Imants Cekusins wrote:

What if (some) show instances where alternative representations are possible, were moved out of Prelude?

A selection of modules with alternative show instances would be available from stand alone modules. To be imported as needed.

For example, bytestring may be 'show'ed in different ways.

Less convenient than now, backward incompatible yet simple enough.
