You use the n parameter if you've got an infix operator in your syntax and you want to put parentheses around an instance of it if n has the wrong value (either too high or too low, I can never remember).

OK. So... should the call to shows actually be showsPrec? Or does it not matter in this case? Actually, now that I think of it, my *next* problem is going to be writing a matching Read instance...
