This kicks everyone in the butt at least once. It would be good if GHC could point it out, as mine (6.12.3) just complains about no instance. Maybe GHC7 does point it out. It's a waste of people's time otherwise.

I think the Haskell standards committee is moving in the direction of eliminating it as being the wrong solution to the problem.
