Produces the Strings to represent the values of the components of this N component Show.

Number of parameter constituents of this class.

Sequence of the names of parameter constituents of this class.

Provides the standard string representation for the object. Its called ShowT to indicate this is a type class method that acts upon an object rather than a method on the object being shown.

The default representation is platform dependent.

The type of the object to be persisted.

MyObj * 7

. for describing sequences succinctly. This is not desirable for some types such as numerical and mathematical vector types as this could be confusing 3 * 4 should resolve to an Int of value 12, not a Multiple(3, 4).
