Abstract. Type classes in Haskell allow programmers to define functions that can be used on a set of different types, with a potentially different implementation in each case. For ...
Haskell's type classes allow ad-hoc overloading, or typeindexing, of functions. A natural generalisation is to allow type-indexing of data types as well. It turns out that th...
