Hi Deniz,

So, basically I'd like some sort of folding functionality for these data types, without having to hack the lexer/parser myself (parameterising the data types), because as I said they're being generated by BNFC.
What exactly do you mean by folding functionality? Folding as in the Foldable type class applies to containers, which your data type isn't. Perhaps you're looking for generic programming?
There are several good GP libraries out there:
* EMGM: http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/GenericProgramming/EMGM * Uniplate: http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/uniplate/ * SYB: http://www.cs.vu.nl/boilerplate/
See also Neil Mitchell's blog for some examples: http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2009/03/concise-generic-queries.html
You're right, what I was asking for didn't make much sense... I was really looking for GP. Thanks, Deniz
