Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, your solution does not work. For Fix X. t to be well-defined, we must have that if 'X' has kind 'k', then 't' must also have kind 'k' (compare the type of 'fix' in Haskell: (a -> a) -> a). > Keep in mind I have no idea what the "Perfect" data structure is > supposed to look like. The Haskell equivalent would be data Perfect a = Leaf a | Branch (Perfect (a, a)) and models perfect binary trees (I admit, slightly headwrecking datatype! :) Edsko _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
