Bingo! That's what I needed. I had tried something like that before, but =

started from a fundamental misunderstanding: I had assumed that

    class Vect v a where...

would automatically make 'v' a type constructor, and all my experiments u=

that assumption plus dependencies produced rather useless results.

What I have now satisfies all my needs (at least my current needs...), an=

works with GHC. Hugs hangs in some places, but I guess that's another pro=

entirely.

Thanks, I'll look at all that...
