If I define something like this:
data Bar = Bi Int
| Bf String
deriving Show
data Foo = Fi Int
| Fs Float
deriving Show
func::Foo -> Bar
func (Fi xx) = Bi xx
func (Fs ff) = Bf (show ff)
I can do:
map func [(Fi 1), (Fs 2.0)]
[Bi 1,Bf "2.0"]
but what i really want to do is just do
map func [1, 2.0]
[1, "2.0"]
I understand that this is impossible in haskell, but why cant the
compiler generate the Foo and Bar data types for me and just require
that i have a func defined for Int -> Int and Float -> String?
