--- | A typeclass for types which can be converted into an associated
--- XML type. The story behind this is long, but basically, we need
--- to different types for each XML thingie we're going to import: a
--- database type and an XML type. Both Groundhog and HXT are very
--- particular about the types that they can use, and there's no way
--- to reuse e.g. a type that HXT can pickle in Groundhog. So this
--- typeclass gives us a way to get the XML type from the Groundhog
--- type.
