I am reading Martijn's MSc thesis and trying some code he presents. In
secton 5.1 he presents catamorphisms over fixed points.

The code I am trying is attached.

When evaluating the expression

    cata exprEval (runExpr (1+2*3))

I am getting the following error:

    No instance for (Functor ExprF)
      arising from a use of `cata'
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Functor ExprF)
    In the expression: cata exprEval (runExpr (1 + 2 * 3))
    In an equation for `it': it = cata exprEval (runExpr (1 + 2 * 3))

How should an instance of (Functor ExprF) be defined? It is not shown in
the thesis.
