Esp useful for nullary constructors; e.g. choose [(A, return A), (B, return B)] readListDefault :: (Read a) => ReadS [a] Use this to define the readList method, if you don't want a special case readListPrecDefault :: (Read a) => ReadPrec [a] Use this to define the readListPrec method, if you don't want a special case readList__ :: ReadS a -> ReadS [a] readParen :: Bool -> ReadS a -> ReadS a Produced by Haddock version 0.4
