In particular, I'm not quite seeing where this fits within Data.Bits

It just occurred to me that I may have answered part of this myself on IRC yesterday, in a different context: the strictness of the other instances may not indicate a fundamental difference between Bool and the other instances beyond the fact that the other instances are effectively spine-strict bit arrays, whereas Bool is free to *express* laziness. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
