Ah, no. But that would be easy to add to the Datatype class<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/4.6.0.0/doc/html/GHC-Generics.html#g:3>, I think. Perhaps open a feature request? Cheers, Pedro On Sun, Jan 27, 2013 at 8:34 PM, Roman Cheplyaka <roma@ro-che.info> wrote:
Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I want is somehow to find out whether the type under consideration is declared using data or newtype.
Is it possible?

Hi Roman,
Yes, the automatic derivation of Generic instances does not see through newtypes.

Hi,
Is it possible to generate different instances for newtypes and datatypes using GHC.Generics?
