Show instances are supposed to follow the convention that "show x" is a Haskell expression that recreates x. In other words, Show is mainly used for debugging, for simple serialization, and for interactive use in a Haskell shell like ghci or hugs.
If you need to create strings from a datatype for some other reason, use a different function name. If you need to do it for several datatypes, create your own class.
Yes, I think another Show-like class will probably be a better solution... Thanks Yitzchak and Bjorn, -- DoubleF No virus detected in this message. Ehrm, wait a minute... /kernel: pid 56921 (antivirus), uid 32000: exited on signal 9 Oh yes, no virus:)
