Is there a way to make the following code working?
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
data family Foo a
data instance (Num a) => Foo a = A a deriving Show
data instance (Fractional a) => Foo a = B a deriving Show
I want to have different constructors for 'Foo a' depending on a class of 'a'. Note also, that in the example above I also meant constructor A to be available for (Fractional a) => Foo, since in that case 'a' has Num too. How can I achieve it, maybe not with TypeFamilies? Current error is
Conflicting family instance declarations:
data instance Foo a -- Defined at 1.hs:7:33-35
data instance Foo a -- Defined at 1.hs:5:33-35
