No it's not. The feature C# calls reflection lets you inspect types and generate them automatically.

If we use reflection, we might know about error only in runtime. What haskell does is guaranteed to work at compile time. That's why it's so cool.

QuickCheck doesn't do anything interesting at compile time.
