This is a proposal for a language extension which will hopefully mitigate the issues holding back evolution of the standard prelude as well as provide useful class abstraction capabilities in general.
I've certainly been wanting a solution to this problem for a long time. Haskell needs to get past the Prelude compatibly. I've already explored a lot of ways the classes might be improved with HBase, but right now it's a whole other world incompatible with the standard Prelude. Basically if it lets me do Functor => Idiom => Monad, and still compile earlier code, I'm for it. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
