Perhaps the problem is that the classes proposed so far for sequences and other collections have been rather heavy-weight things with a lot of members. Maybe if there were an interface that resisted the temptation to throw everything into the class you would be happier?
Yes maybe
So how do you feel about the Num heirarchy?
It is probably the best possible solution if you use (various) ints and reals simultaneously. But sometimes the class(es) (and defaulting) bites you (if you are a beginner). In 90 percent of the cases I would be happy with Int only (and would be unhappy without overloading for the remaining 10 percent). Christian
