 * **How do I write manual Show instances if ``show`` isn't provided?**
 
-Generally speaking writing manual instances of Show is a [Haskell antipattern](
-http://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/strings.html) because it produces
-law-violating instances of Show. You probably want to use a [pretty
-printer](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wl-pprint-text) library for custom
-printing.

 If backwards compatibility is needed then the base library can be imported
 manually.
