#define defObj(t) newtype t = t Obj deriving (A,B,C,D)
Blasphemy! :)

I have a set of wrapper newtypes that are always of the same format:
newtype MyType = MyType Obj deriving (A,B,C,D)
where Obj, A, B, C, and D are always the same. Only MyType varies.
A, B, C, and D are automagically derived by GHC using the
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
feature.
I would like to use some macro system (perhaps Template Haskell?) to reduce this to something like
defObj MyType
How about the straightforward?
{-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} #define defObj(t) newtype t = t Obj deriving (A,B,C,D)
defObj(Foo) defObj(Bar) ....
It has the advantage of being (de facto) portable.
