Request for feedback: deriving strategies syntax

[Carter Schonwald]

Artisanal often means the same thing as bespoke in American English, though
some times with an ironic / mocking subtext. At the same time, artisanal is
often used with words like organic or natural. Which are often used in
opposition to terms like synthetic or synthesized.

In this context, it's even worse :)
It is perfectly understandable for me to say


"" I am using the built in ghc deriving machinery to synthesize the code
for the natural functor definition of this data type ""

I suppose it's bespoke in the sense that it's manufactured at most once,
it's organic / natural in that there's usually only one accepted definition
of the instance that is expected , and synthesized in that it's being
manufactured by code rather than humans (yet not synthetic in that ghc
comes with those particular derivation tactics, in contrast to user/library
supplied codes)
