Why do we need toEnum and fromEnum at all?  As far as I know, they are merely 
there to help people implement things like enumFrom.  It's often not clear 
how toEnum and fromEnum should look like.  How should they be implemented for 
Time.Day, for example?  Should the days corresponds to the integers 0 to 6 or 
1 to 7?

No, I use them.  In my opinion, it makes much more sense to write succ n than 
n + 1.

Best wishes,
