3) The problem here is existing code. I don't want to add every
function that I use into a class just to maintain simple polymorphism
over closely related numeric types. This would take longer than just
calling the coercion routines. It's funny how trivial stuff likes
this gets irritating when you are writing a lot of code. Maybe I'm
just in a bad mood or something.
It would be better to just use the Haskell numeric types in the first place
ie replace all CInt, CDouble etc by Int, Double etc and change your C code
accordingly to use HsInt, HsDouble instead of plain int, double etc.
Hopefully this should just be a trivial matter of changing a few typedefs in
a C header as long as the C functions don't refer to 'int' 'double' etc
directly.
