I've been defining a similar instance in pandoc-crossref for a while now. Now I can't due to duplicate instances. But the instance defined here is pretty useless too, because trying to use it will fail every time due to overlapping instances:
• Overlapping instances for ToMetaValue [Char]
Matching instances:
instance ToMetaValue String -- Defined in ‘Text.Pandoc.Builder’
instance ToMetaValue a => ToMetaValue [a]
-- Defined in ‘Text.Pandoc.Builder’
Consider adding an {-# OVERLAPPING #-}
pragma:
instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-} ToMetaValue String where
toMetaValue = MetaString
otherwise, it's very problematic for me and in general.
