[Haskell-cafe] Generating random arguments for a function

[satvik chauhan]

I have a working code of this but for that I have to reimplement Arbitrary
and Testable typeclasses which I don't want to do. I thought it might be
possible to use parts of quickcheck without actually changing its code but
still I am unable to find a suitable solution.
