This isn't supposed to be a contest of any sort, in my mind,
but rather an attempt to improve things, in absolute terms.

The way you dissected the type/newtype/data trinity.. I must say I like it best.

The distinction between 'type' and 'newtype' really ought to be underscored,
and in this context 'data' is what stands out, indeed.
