When we discussed this before I appealed for someone to try it out and
report on the results:
* What slowdowns (?speedups) can be expected in practice using Integer
rather than Int?
* Do existing programs break wildly with this more general type, or
do they work just as before? Or do they still work but now produce
different answers than before.
Please can someone who feels strongly that we should make these changes
perform some experiements and report the results.
John.
