[Haskell-cafe] typeclass to select a list element

[adam vogt]

Hi Paolino,

There are some functions similar to that in HList (Data.HList.HArray).
Check the repo http://code.haskell.org/HList for a version that uses
more type families / gadts.

Maybe there is a way to take advantage of the fact that you've
labelled the elements of the list, but extract isn't too bad if you
don't: http://lpaste.net/94210.

Regards,
Adam
