`text-show-instances` is a supplemental library to [`text-show`](https://github.com/RyanGlScott/text-show) that provides additional `Show` instances for data types in common Haskell libraries and GHC dependencies that are not encompassed by `text-show`. Currently, `text-show-instances` covers these libraries:

* [`bifunctors`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bifunctors)
* [`binary`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/binary)
* [`containers`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers)

* [`ghc-boot`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-boot)
* [`haskeline`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline)
* [`hoopl`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hoopl)
* [`hpc`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpc)
* [`old-locale`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/old-locale)
* [`old-time`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/old-time)
* [`pretty`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pretty)
* [`random`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/random)

* [`unix`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unix)
* [`unordered-containers`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unordered-containers)

One can use these instances by importing `TextShow.Instances`. Alternatively, there are monomorphic versions of the `showb` function available in the other submodules of `TextShow`.
