Generics bugs

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

In principle I support that idea, but you seemed to be more reluctant? I was hoping perhaps
Andres would try a bit harder to convince you before I jumped on to implementing it :-)

I'm not reluctant. Rather, I just don't know what the idea IS at the moment!  The ticket doesn't provide a spec that is detailed enough for me to understand, nor a single example.  If you (or anyone else) wants to work out the design, give examples etc, I'd be happy to review/comment.

I'm discussing how to best handle that with Nick, as he wrote that part of the code.
