[Haskell-cafe] Existentially-quantified constructors, Eq and Show

[Joel Reymont]

Folks,

Is there a less verbose way of doing this:

data State a
     = Start
     | Stop
     | (Show a, Eq a) => State a

instance Eq a => Eq (State a) where
     (State a) == (State b) = a == b
     Start == Start = True
     Stop == Stop = True

instance Show a => Show (State a) where
     show (State a) = show a
     show Start = "Start"
     show Stop = "Stop"

	Thanks, Joel
