Hi,

I've tried the make an instance of NFData for all types, although I have a problem with the GATD:

data MyGADT a where
MyField :: b -> MyGADT (Maybe b)

instance NFData a => NFData (MyGADT a) where
rnf (MyField b) = (rnf b)

Gives me :
Could not deduce (NFData b) arising from a use of `rnf'
from the context (NFData a)

Which I understand (that's because a ~ Maybe b and not a ~ b due to the declaration of MyField b being of type MyGADT (Maybe b))

But I have no idea how to solve that??

Thanks...

One question:
Since it works with putStrLn, can I simulate the behaviour of putStrLn without actually... printing anything? As a workaround...

Worst case, open a handle on /dev/null and hPutStr to it.

I'd probably try to figure out how to write appropriate NFData instances, though.
