[Template-haskell] Querying the instances a data type implements

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

All: as Robert says, I keep meaning to close the template-haskell list altogether; but I am not sure how to do so.

Jonathan: where did you find a pointer to the mailing list?  I should remove those too.

Returning to the question, sadly there's no way to do what you want right now.  There's an open feature request:
 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1835
Would anyone like to undertake it?  It's not hard.

Subject: [Template-haskell] Querying the instances a data type implements

Hi,

I am trying query the instances that a data type implements. Calling reify on the data type doesn't appear to return anything relating to type classes.

I am very new to Template Haskell, so I apologize if there is a easy way to do this that I missed.
