ifcxt: put if statements within type constraints
This package introduces the ifCxt function,
which lets your write if statements that depend on a polymorphic variable's class instances.
For example, we can make a version of show that can be called on any type:
cxtShow :: forall a. IfCxt (Show a) => a -> String
cxtShow a = ifCxt (Proxy::Proxy (Show a))
(show a)
"<<unshowable>>"Running this function in ghci, we get:
>>>cxtShow (1 :: Int)"1"
>>>cxtShow (id :: a -> a)"<<unshowable>>"
