Comment:
Yes, I improved the error reporting in the head -- no more Show (IO ())
nonsense -- so I declare the original bug fixed.
As a separate matter, in the HEAD I also relaxed the defaulting rules, so
that GHC will apply the standard defaulting rules if
a) All of the ambiguous classes are single-parameter
b) At least one is numeric, or Eq, Ord, or Show
In this case the conditions apply. GHC chooses Integer (not () as claimed)
and runs the test at that type.
The relaxation of defaulting is easy to reverse if you don't like it, but
people seemed to want it.
