To answer your other question, no, there is no list show hack.
Perhaps hack was a strong word.  I'm not referring to type synonyms, but to
the fact that Prelude's show class happens to have a special show function
for lists, which happens to be handy when writing an instance for Show Char.
Oh, showList, that hack!  Right, I had forgotten about that :-)
