The implicit coercion of numeric constants: 3.14 -=->> (fromDouble 3.14) etc. is sick.
What do you propose instead? (BTW, it's fromRational, to keep arbitrarily large precision.)
Now, signum and abs seem to be quite distincts beasts. Signum seem to require Ord (and a generic zero...).
Signum doesn't require Ord. signum z = z / abs z for complex numbers. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
