[Haskell-cafe] A question about GHC test coverage

You should not have to write tests for functions you did not define. Correct me if I'm wrong, but any property of max can be derived from the properties of <=. Sadly, the laws for Ord are not stated in the documentation of Data.Ord. (Because there is no consensus?) They are: Reflexive: if x == y then x <= y Transitive: if x <= y and y <= z then x <= z Antisymmetric: if x <= y and y <= x then x == y Olaf
