[Haskell-cafe] Comparing functions

[Vlatko Basic]

Hello Cafe,

I have

     data CmpFunction a = CF (a -> a -> Bool)

that contains comparing functions, like ==, <, > ..., and I'm trying to declare 
the Show instance for it like this

     instance Show (CmpFunction a) where
       show (CF (==)) = "== "                   -- no good
       show f = case f of                            -- no good also
                        CBF (==) -> "=="
                         _ -> "Other"

but compiler complains for both with

This binding for `==' shadows the existing binding
            imported from `Prelude' at src/Main.hs:6:8-11
            (and originally defined in `ghc-prim:GHC.Classes')

Is it possible at all to compare two functions or how to solve this problem, to 
show some string for a specific function?
