[Haskell-cafe] Quick Question for QuickCheck2

[austin seipp]

You can create a wrapper with a newtype and then define an instance for that.

newtype Char2 = Char2 Char

instance Arbitrary Char2 where
  arbitrary = ...

You'll have to do some wrapping and unwrapping when calling your
properties to get/set the underlying Char, but this is probably the
easiest way to 'constrain' the possible arbitrary results when the
default instance for Char can be "too much."
