A poly-kinded instance -- is /not/ provided, as a recursive definition for algebraic kinds is -- generally more useful. type family (a :: k) == (b :: k) :: Bool infix 4 == {- This comment explains more about why a poly-kinded instance for (==) is not provided. To be concrete, here would be the poly-kinded instance: type family EqPoly (a :: k) (b :: k) where EqPoly a a = True EqPoly a b = False type instance (a :: k) == (b :: k) = EqPoly a b Note that this overlaps with every other instance -- if this were defined, it would be the only instance for (==). Now, consider data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat Suppose I want foo :: (Succ n == Succ m) ~ True => ((n == m) :~: True) foo = Refl This would not type-check with the poly-kinded instance. `Succ n == Succ m` quickly becomes `EqPoly (Succ n) (Succ m)` but then is stuck. We don't know enough about `n` and `m` to reduce further. On the other hand, consider this: type family EqNat (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat) where EqNat Zero Zero = True EqNat (Succ n) (Succ m) = EqNat n m EqNat n m = False type instance (a :: Nat) == (b :: Nat) = EqNat a b With this instance, `foo` type-checks fine. `Succ n == Succ m` becomes `EqNat (Succ n) (Succ m)` which becomes `EqNat n m`. Thus, we can conclude `(n == m) ~ True` as desired. So, the Nat-specific instance allows strictly more reductions, and is thus preferable to the poly-kinded instance. But, if we introduce the poly-kinded instance, we are barred from writing the Nat-specific instance, due to overlap. Even better than the current instance for * would be one that does this sort of recursion for all datatypes, something like this: type family EqStar (a :: *) (b :: *) where EqStar Bool Bool = True EqStar (a,b) (c,d) = a == c && b == d EqStar (Maybe a) (Maybe b) = a == b ... EqStar a b = False The problem is the (...) is extensible -- we would want to add new cases for all datatypes in scope.
