Actually, I botched the type declaration.  I meant:

> h1 :: a -> a -> (a,a)
> h1 = f1 # g1

But your suggestion, which compiles without complaint, gives me an inkling
why the above doesn't work.  With `h1 f g = f # g` and the type
declaration for h1, the compiler sees that f1 and g1 must be used at the
same type.  With `h1 = f1 # g1`, that connection is missing.  So I guess
my `Composable` class example can't work in general.
