-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
The Haddocks for `GHC.Generics` give an example of a default
implementation using Generics:
{{{#!hs
class Encode a where
encode :: a -> [Bool]
default encode :: (Generic a) => a -> [Bool]
encode x = encode' (from x)
}}}
The default signature is missing some context. It should read
{{{#!hs
default encode :: (Generic a, Encode' (Rep a)) => a -> [Bool]
}}}
