[Haskell-cafe] User guide for DeriveAnyClass

[Ivan Lazar Miljenovic]

Did you mean this link for the Users Guide?
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/deriving.html#derive-any-class

DeriveAny class lets you write

> data Foo = ... deriving (Bar)

instead of:

> data Foo = ...
> instance Bar Foo

(i.e. if it's possible to make it an instance without having to
provide explicit method implementations); as the Users Guide hints
it's primarily useful in cases where default definitions are provided
for you, typically using the DefaultSignatures definition with
GHC.Generics.
