The nhc98 compiler already accepts a `deriving Binary' clause. DrIFT likewise already supports {-! derives : Binary !-}. I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to use GHC's support for Generics to code up a simple deriving mechanism as well.
What was the strategy employed to derive instances of sum types, i.e. the binary representation? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones. Go to http://ninemsn.com.au/mobilecentral/hotmail_messenger.asp
