Now what am I misunderstanding in the code below?
lst = [('A',65),('B',66),('C',67),('D',68)]
You didn't give a type for lst, so it defaulted to [(Char,Integer)]. This is a manifestation of the Monomorphism Restriction, invoked because lst doesn't take any arguments: it forces lst to have a definite type, so defaulting is used to fix the numeric part to Integer.
If you add a type specification for lst, things will work as you expect.
