Together with the type-constructors used by monad
There is a hidden cost to trapping Int overflow, beyond the extra
instruction per operation mentioned by Paul Hudak. This is that
operations on Ints become unsafe i.e. may raise exceptions (well
that was the whole idea...). This is a problem both for a global
instruction scheduler (e.g. a trace s
