The way I see it, you use "type" for genuine synonyms where you don't care about the distinction, "newtype" where you want to make a separate type with a single constructor, and "data" where you want to make a separate type with multiple constructors. My memory might be failing, though. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
