Haskell 98 allows the programmer to add "<literal>deriving( Eq, Ord )</literal>" to a data type
<literal>Enum</literal>, <literal>Ix</literal>, <literal>Bounded</literal>, <literal>Read</literal>, and <literal>Show</literal>.

-GHC extends this list with two more classes that may be automatically derived
-(provided the <option>-XDeriveDataTypeable</option> flag is specified):
-<literal>Typeable</literal>, and <literal>Data</literal>. These classes are defined in the library
-modules <literal>Data.Typeable</literal> and <literal>Data.Generics</literal> respectively, and the
-appropriate class must be in scope before it can be mentioned in the <literal>deriving</literal> clause.
