[Haskell-beginners] The numeric type stack

[Mike Meyer]

While haskell's type system is usually a delight to work with.
However, every once and a while I need to do mixed mode programming in
spite of Kernighan and Plauger's advice, and wind up cursing the
numeric type stack. I was wondering it there was a writeup on it
somewhere? Preferably one aimed at practical programming. A chapter in
Real World Haskell would have been ideal, but it doesn't seem to
exist.

   Thanks,
