[Haskell-cafe] About using "type" to do type alias.

[Arlen Cuss]

Magicloud,

Try to reduce the particular problem you're having to the smallest possible example that reproduces the issue. None of us can compile your code, either, because we're missing many of the dependencies, and unfortunately the issue is no easier (for me) to track down with the full source listing in this case.

Cheers,

Arlen
