Thank you Richard, Lennart, *Gergő* >* pattern Positive :: (Ord a, Num a) => a*

I guess that's so `Positive` can appear as a pattern in a case expr. To dig out the positive value in a lambda expr, it seems I go* *> (\p@Positive -> p) 5 -- returns 5* *Seems I can't use any trick like that to turn `Positive` into explicitly bidirectional.

(Doesn't seem to be in the User Guide nor the wiki nor the paper, on a quick scan.)
