Concise definition in Haskell does not correspond to a concise implementation universally. This is introducing a whole new concept of function objects and abstract interfaces, and for all places - in Target match.. For the case that can be solved using much simpler approach - either runtime sequence size check (you DO get you sequence in runtime anyway, so what we have is just sugar coating it for abstract academic reasons anyway) daniel;
