I mean, come on. In your playground example, one way of using the UUID type inherits its methods and another doesn't. Inheritance is inherently complicated, and if you're relying on it you need to know what you're doing, no matter what language you're using. I wouldn't call that a poor design choice.

    newtype NotRobPike'sUUID = NotRobPike'sUUID UUID deriving newtype (ToJSON, FromJSON)
