That is a great initiative. I didn't know about those Kind extensions that enable you to pass a typeclass as a type parameter... However, have you considered putting the Data.Exists.Default module in a separate package? That would reduce the dependencies for those who just need Exists and Existent

There's a common pattern in Haskell of writing: data E where E :: C a => a -> E also written data E = forall a. C a => E a I recently uploaded a package to Hackage which uses the new ConstraintKinds extension to factor this pattern out into an Exists type parameterized on the constraint, and also

I had tried -rtsopts in a few spots in the command line, both with and without --make, seemingly with no effect . There was indeed a code problem, a function applied to an expression that should have been in parens. Shoulda known better. Thanks, all. Michael 2012/2/5 Krzysztof Skrzętnicki > N

No, you supply -rtsopts along with --make. Actually --make is just a shorthand for a few other options, you can see which with --verbose. See the documentation too. One important thing though: very often stack overflows come from bad code. See the wiki for more info: http://www.haskell.org/haskell

Concerning your first solution, I don't understand why you redefine Eq but not Ord instance. Ord will still work by comparing the tuples and not the first elements of said tuples.
