Read my first post on the thread, that's exactly what I did ( and then complained that the doc for Data.Monoid was close to useless )

Sorry missed it! This is an exceptionally long thread! :-) I agree Data.Monoid's docs don't give you much to work with.

Do you think they look better now: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/libraries/base/Data-Monoid.html Any other improvements you'd make? Duncan
