-- Given a definition of view which is essentially a synonym for show:
class View a where
view :: a -> String
instance View Int where
view = show
-- why does "show 2" compile, while "view 2" gives an
-- 'Ambiguous type variable' error
fine = view (2::Int)
noProblem = show 2
ambiguousTypeVariable = view 2
