{- | Utility function to perform bounds checking as part of a conversion.

Does this be examining the bounds of the destination type, converting to the type of
the source via 'safeConvert', comparing to the source value.  Results in an error
if the conversion is out of bounds. -}

{- | Useful for defining 'Typeable' instances.  Example:

>instance Typeable TimeOfDay where
>    typeOf _ = mkTypeName "TimeOfDay"
-}
mkTypeName :: String -> TypeRep
mkTypeName name = mkTyConApp (mkTyCon name) []

{- | Useful for defining conversions that are implemented in terms of other
conversions via an intermediary type. Instead of:

>instance Convertible CalendarTime POSIXTime where
>    safeConvert a = do r <- safeConvert a
>                       safeConvert (r :: ClockTime)

we can now write:

>instance Convertible CalendarTime POSIXTime where
>    safeConvert = convertVia (undefined::ClockTime)

which does the same thing -- converts a CalendarTime to a ClockTime, then a
ClockTime to a POSIXTime, both using existing 'Convertible' instances.
