Burning more bridges (mostly numeric ones)

[Carter Schonwald]

lets not talk about this while people are buried with 7.8 release
engineering, please :)

there are certainly good ideas in Henning's (amazing) work,
HOWEVER, one thing people often forget is that theres more than one valid
computational formalization of a given mathematical concept (which itself
can often have a multitude of equivalent definitions).

and thats even ignoring the fact that the haddocks are full of readable
Qualified names like
"class C<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/numeric-prelude-0.4.1/docs/Algebra-Algebraic.html#t:C>
a
=> C a where" :)
