Looks reasonable to me, that's why I intuitively expected
let q = fmap MovieLister createFinder
to work.
Not sure I would want that behaviour when I ':load' a file though, as
it may provide a false sense of security. -XTypeFamilies isn't turned
on automatically, why should -XNoMonomorphismRestriction be?

That seems to also affect how the file is ':load'-ed, not sure I would
want to do that.
