I have to admit this seems to be the most sensible solution, and avoids stealing names that are more appropriate for numeric instances anyways.<div><br></div><div>-Edward<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 3:26 AM, Joachim Breitner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mail@joachim-breitner.de">mail@joachim-breitner.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I agree. Bits is certainly not something that a Haskell Beginner would<br>
have to implement every day, but is more likely a task that requires<br>
lots of thought and well-written code anyway. Having to implement these<br>
two functions as well is not a large burden there.<br>
