Clearly I'm behind the times, as just brought to my attention by Michael Snoyman, this is already done in `base` of GHC 7.10: http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1/docs/html/libraries/base/Data-Funct... Cheers! On 17/06/15 17:37, Niklas Hambüchen wrote:
Hi,
I just noticed that Data.Functor.Identity [1] lacks many useful instances like Eq, Ord, Show ... etc.
Is there a reason for this?
Otherwise, shouldn't we make a proposal for it?
In my opinion, if the seven-tuple has an instance, then Identity deserves it as well.
