(+) is a name that is already taken by the Num typeclass, you're
trying to overload it with a different class. It's equivalent to doing:
foo :: Int
foo = 1
foo :: String
foo = "abc"
this would cause an (obvious) namespace collision. If you want to
redefine (+), you'll have to import a qualified prelude, by using the
NoImplicitPrelude
pragma and `import qualified Prelude`.
A better alternative is to use a different name, `+`, `++` are both
taken (for normal addition and list concatenation, resp.).

Hi.
I am using Hugs 98
I have that piece of code:
class PlusTimes a where
plus :: a -> a -> a
instance PlusTimes Int where
plus x y = x + y
when I run : "plus 2 3" I get this error:
ERROR - Unresolved overloading
*** Type : (Num a, PlusTimes a) => a
*** Expression : plus 2 3
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
