[NumericPrelude] Bug in Numeric Prelude or GHC?

[Grigory Sarnitskiy]

Hello! I have a problem with -x syntax --- it doesn't work, only negate x. I've made my type Expression a to be an instance of Additive:

instance (C a, Ord a) => C (Expression a) where
   zero     = Const zero
   negate x = ITimes (-1) x
   x + y    = Sum [x, y]

And I have:

*Main> negate b :: Expression Integer
(-1) b
*Main> zero - b :: Expression Integer
0 + (-1) b
*Main> -b :: Expression Integer

<interactive>:1:1:
    No instance for (GHC.Num.Num (Expression Integer))
      arising from a use of syntactic negation
    Possible fix:
      add an instance declaration for (GHC.Num.Num (Expression Integer))
    In the expression: - b :: Expression Integer
    In an equation for `it': it = - b :: Expression Integer

I hoped that providing negate for my type would be enough to us -x instead of negate x. So I wonder is it a GHC issue of numeric-prelude's one?

I'm using numeric-prelude 0.2.1, GHC 7.0.3, Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit.
