Comment (by nomeata):
Yes, maybe that’d be sufficient. I think I’d also like to know which stock
instances are derived as such for newtypes, and which are derived by using
the newtype strategy, but I guess that information can also be found (“C
is not Read, Show, Typeable, or Data. These classes should not “look
through” the type or its constructor. You can still derive these classes
for a newtype, but it happens in the usual way, not via this new
mechanism.”).
So maybe, all the information is already present in the manual, in which
case the reference to the wiki can be removed?
