[Haskell-cafe] Specialize a function on types of arguments?

[ducis]

Hi, everyone,

Is it possible to make combine the following "f" and "g" into one function?
f:: a -> b -> b 
f x y = y       
g:: a -> a -> a 
g x y = x       

Or similarly, "eq1" and "eq2" into one function?
eq1 :: (Eq a)=>a->a->Bool     
eq1 = (==)                    
eq2 :: (Eq a,Eq b)=>a->b->Bool
eq2 _ _ = False               

Looks like it would require some typeclasses, but at least in the first case, "a" and "b" should be any types.

Best!
