[Haskell-cafe] Alternate instance Show (Maybe a)?

Hello list, Suppose I want show Nothing to return "", and show (Just foo) return show foo. I don't seem to be able to. Looks like I either have to use some other function name, like `mShow', or have to import Prelude hiding Maybe, reimplement Maybe, write all the other useful instances (Functor, Monad) for it, etc. Not particularly hard, but looks ugly. Isn't there a better solution? I recall some discussion about this, but can't find it in the archives... TIA, -- DoubleF No virus detected in this message. Ehrm, wait a minute... /kernel: pid 56921 (antivirus), uid 32000: exited on signal 9 Oh yes, no virus:)
