        -- * Deriving Instances of 'Ix'
        -- | Derived instance declarations for the class 'Ix' are only possible
        -- for enumerations (i.e. datatypes having only nullary constructors)
        -- and single-constructor datatypes, including arbitrarily large tuples,
        -- whose constituent types are instances of 'Ix'.
        --
        -- * For an enumeration, the nullary constructors are assumed to be
        -- numbered left-to-right with the indices being 0 to n-1 inclusive. This
        -- is the same numbering defined by the 'Enum' class. For example, given
        -- the datatype:
        --
        -- >	data Colour = Red | Orange | Yellow | Green | Blue | Indigo | Violet
        --
        -- we would have:
        --
        -- >	range   (Yellow,Blue)        ==  [Yellow,Green,Blue]
        -- >	index   (Yellow,Blue) Green  ==  1
        -- >	inRange (Yellow,Blue) Red    ==  False
        --
        -- * For single-constructor datatypes, the derived instance declarations
        -- are as shown for tuples in Figure 1
