Yes, that’s exactly the problem solved by makeFields. 
You declare the fields with a different name for each type
but you get a lens with the same name for each type by
declaring the suitable type class and instances.

What I was asking is if is it possible to do the same
generating simple functions instead of lenses.

The functions generated by the compiler with the
record syntax are not what I want, because the name
must be unique for any single type.
