 However, there is nothing to prevent the user from forming terms such as
-\isa{inverse\ {\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}} and proving theorems such as \isa{inverse\ {\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}\ {\isacharequal}\ inverse\ {\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}}, although we never defined inverse on lists. We hasten to say
-that there is nothing wrong with such terms and theorems. But it would be
-nice if we could prevent their formation, simply because it is very likely
-that the user did not mean to write what he did. Thus she had better not waste
-her time pursuing it further. This requires the use of type classes.%
