38,Create user defined data sturcture as instance of Elem,fxie,chak,"Hi, I'm trying to use accelerate to write multipole solver using CUDA as backend.

I wanted to create user defined data structure like:
{{{
data Panel b a
     = Panel { getBounds    :: b
             , getSrcBounds :: (Int, Int)
             -- , getFarExpan  :: Array Int a
             }
       deriving (Show, Typeable)
}}}
But I found that it's hard to declare it as an instance of `Elem' because its methods are hidden.

I understand that user can define a type using nested (,). But it would be nice to expose `Elem' to end user so user can use any type as `Elem'. Is there any concern about this?",enhancement,new,major,,Accelerate language,,,,
