Re: [Haskell] Signature error because the order

Hi Luis,

/prettyShow/ it works.

It's a GHC problem? it's normal than signature is order-dependent?

I think this is on purpose. The error specifically says that the 
contexts must be identical (rather than containing the same classes in 
arbitrary). I suspect this is how Haskell98 has specified it.

If you enable the RelaxedPolyRec language extension, this restriction no 
longer applies and your code compiles fine.

Hope this helps,

Martijn.
