Comment:

 Well, first of all, we didn't have that property before.  The counterpart
 to {{{show}}} is {{{read}}}, not {{{readFoo}}}.  We did however have the
 property:
 {{{
 prop_idempParsePrint x = (r . s . r) x == r x
   where r = readPackageDescription; s = showPackageDescription
 }}}
 I agree that this would be nice to have, though.
