But "if" is a keyword hardwired to work with Bool. You can't write
if "str" then 0 else 1. This makes your solution seem like an add-on.
I suppose that if haskell' added a Boolean class, it presumably would
translate if/then/else to make use of it, so the above would start
working just by adding instance Boolean String.

In my experience I've seen more requests for overloaded *Boolean*

what you mean by this? а few days ago i've published in cafe small lib
that allows to write things like ("str" && 0 || 1)
