[Haskell-cafe] Typeclasses and instances

Another note, with more help from friends:

It turns out that GHC 6.4 will let me do,

	newtype Floating a => Test a = Test [a] deriving Show

	x = Test [False, True]

but, if I change "newtype" to "data", it then says,

	No instance for (Floating Bool)

I'm not sure I quite understand what's going on.
