[Haskell-beginners] Newtype to avoid orphans

[Adrien Haxaire]

 It will save me some time, and I will be happy using the nice API of 
 Data.Vector without having to wrap everything.

 I will still read more on orphan instances to be sure I understand the 
 concept and the consequences, even if now I know they are minor for me.
