You probably meant to make "Graph a w" a type synonym but you used "data"
thus it is a type constructor with one data constructor named Array which
takes two parameters : an "a" and a list of pairs of "a" and "w".
You wanted to write :

> type Graph a w = Array a [(a,w)]

which should work better (indices will work on it like on an Array from
Data.Array).
