Hi Omari,

You could use:

type S3 a b c = (Maybe a, Maybe b, Maybe c)

And then prove to yourself that only one entry is Just. This lets you use
of classes that work with tuples such as Field1 through Field9 from lens or
things from http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tuple.

At least that's the strategy in <
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HList-0.3.2.0/docs/Data-HList-Variant.html
>.

Regards,
Adam
