Cool!

Is there *anything* Haskell *can't* do?

Well, I haven't found a way to emulate polymorphics kinds yet, and I feel like 
I need them. Other than than - probably no.

    Sure you can. I just tried the following, and it compiled without
    complaints.

    The usual warnings about orphan instances apply, but the purpose of
    the Text.Show.Functions module is to provide a standard Show instance
    for functions so that libraries (e.g., QuickCheck) don't declare
    conflicting instances.
