I'm probably being dumb, but Hoogle nor the wiki are helping me. I want an instance and type improvement constraint of the form
instance (f ~ (-> Bool)) => C Foo (f b) where ... The first arg to C is driving type improvement, for example: instance (f ~ []) => C Bar (f b) where ... (The real instances are more complex, and involve overlap, of course.) I'm trying to write a section to get the improved type (b -> Bool), but (-> Bool) or ((-> Bool) b) is invalid syntax. This is valid, but wrong: ((->) Bool) b -- gives (Bool -> b). I could do: data FlipFun b -- abstract instance (f ~ FlipFun) => C Foo (f b) where ... And a type function inside the class to generate the type. But then I'd have to apply the type function for all instances, and in most places it'd be id. ?? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
