[Haskell-cafe] How to match on such type

Hello, All!
I have type:
infixr 9 |||
data a ||| b = A a|B b deriving (Eq, Data, Show)
and usually I wraps into it values which are instances of my class
IsTag:
class IsTag a where
anyTag :: a
So, I need to check if some value wrapping by `a|||b` is equal to
`anyTag`, i.e.:
A (B (A x)) == (anyTag::TypeOf_x)
==> True
This function must be generic, ie, it can not know anything about
concreate TypeOf_x, only: `a|||b` and `IsTag`. How to do it???
I added `Data` to `a|||b` and even to values which I "wrap" with
`a|||b` (I assumed to use `gmap*` and Co), but this does not help me.
Is it even possible??
==
Best regadrs, Paul
