[Haskell] Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: The Typeclassopedia, and request for feedback

[Rodrigo Steinmüller]

Brent,

First of all, great article!  Was really fun to read.

I just had some difficulties to follow up the occurrences of the <$>
operator on section Instances page 9.  The operator is explained only a
little bit later, on Laws page 10.
