given an Ord instance (for a type T) a corresponding Eq instance can be given by:
instance Eq T where a == b = compare a b == EQ
where did this second -----^ == come from? (I guess if if Ordering derives Eq :-) I think you meant
instance (Ord T) => Eq T where a == b = case compare a b of EQ -> True _ -> False
