[Haskell] deriving with newtypes

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

[Redirecting to GHC users.]

This seems like a very reasonable point.   Not possible today, but it
should be.  It'll go on my to-do list.  Meanwhile, I guess you can
always do it by steam.

| 
| Hello,
| 
| I'm trying to use GHC's deriving mechanism for newtypes in the
following way:
|     class C a b
|     instance C [a] Char
|     newtype T = T Char deriving C [a]
| Unfortunately, this isn't possible. Is there a reason for this? Can I
| circumvent this restriction?
