Generic instances for Record (Rec)

[habbler]

Hello,

I am trying to use superrecord together with ppTable.

ppTable requires that the table (and hence the rows of the table; in this case superrecord records) have GHC.Generic instances (see function printTable)

would it be possible to add sensible GHC.Generic instances to the Rec and Record types.

Ideally in such a way that ppTable works correctly out of the box (don't know if this is possible...)

Implemented in jrec, which is based on superrecord: https://github.com/juspay/jrec

Curious if there's any work we should/could do to merge the two packages? Possibly splitting out the internals into a dedicated package?

Not at this point. I want to retain the ability to experiment. When the design of jrec is stable — perhaps it will be a good idea.

Okay! Let me know :)
