Hi,

continuing pushing the adoption Data.Functor.Classes, I wrote a small
package `functor-classes-compat` [1].

It provides lifted (Eq1, Ord1, etc.) classes for types in `containers`,
`vector` and `unordered-containers`(not for Sequence or Tree yet though).


Thanks for working on this. Obviously, some of these really belong in
containers. I'll try to add them today.

I guess there is no way they could depend on `transformers` to provide
instances in build plans with `base < 4.9`, I'm not sure when I'll have
time to write patches for the actual packages myself.


No, I don't think that's likely. One option might be to add these instances
to transformers when compiling with older base, but I don't know if Ross
Paterson will want them.


Current implementations are naive, but more obviously correct.


More than what?
