At a first glance, I would suppose than the construction
[a,b..{,c}] is valid not only for Enum classes, but also for
any Num class (any which have (+) operation). I woud say it
is quite naturally.

I don't know if it possible now to define the same operation
(enumFromThen) for two classes, but newcoming advances about
polymorphism could enable this.

Anyway, haskell world (as I could notice) would not be
surprised by this little incompatibility.
