Basic types

Tuples are only supported up to a bounded size (currently 30).

The normal instances (Eq, Ord, Read, Show, Ix) for tuples are only available up to size 5.

The class Num has a method fromInt to convert from an Int to the type.

The class Integral has the new method toInt to convert from the type to an Int.

The class Show has the new method showsType which is similar to shows, but shows the type instead. The default method for showsPrec shows the type enclosed in ``<< >>''.
