but this might not be desirable when the data type and the class
definition are in separate packages, and the author of the package with
the data type is not willing to add additional dependencies to his
package (which is a valid goal).

Or how would you proceed if you need a Binary instance (from package
binary) for UTCTime (from package date), as I do in arbtt?

Greetings and thanks,
Joachim
