Another possibility that occured to me recently, is to switch Integer
to a simpler (perhaps even pure-Haskell) representation, and provide
(core? extra? Hackage?) a hsgmp package. If you have big numbers,
switching is easy:
import Prelude hiding(Integer)
import Data.Integer.GMP
type Integer = MPZ
except that
you also need to add "default (Integer, Double)" or similar.
and Int is rather machine-dependent and "could" be implemented in
Haskell, too. I definitely don't want programs using Int instead of
Integer just because of Int being more standard and consistent.
