Isn’t that invalid syntax? Wouldn’t you need either data PossiblyRootedTree lengths labels where RootedTree :: AugmentedTree [NodeId] lengths labels -> PossiblyRootedTree lengths labels UnrootedTree :: AugmentedTree () lengths labels -> PossiblyRootedTree lengths labels or simply (avoiding GADT syntax altogether): data PossiblyRootedTree lengths labels = RootedTree (AugmentedTree [NodeId] lengths labels) | UnrootedTree (AugmentedTree () lengths labels)
