[Haskell-cafe] From records to a type class

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Taru

If you haven't obviously got dispatch on type then records are certainly fine.

Some obigatory examples:

(see the Editor type page 13)

Parsec's Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Token module is an example that
has seen widespread use.
