BTW, what about the discussed idea of detaching 'deriving' from the
datatype definition?
I don't remember if it was proposed before, but it would be nice if
two or more such 'deriving' declarations could be coalesced, if there
was no conflicting hand-made instance declaration. This way, Thomas
could simply write
instance Typable Data.Queue.Queue derived
and his program wouldn't break if you added 'deriving Typable' to
Queue in a newer version of GHC.
Hmmm, I fear this could be impossible to do safely in general...
Best regards
Tomasz
