Data.Word defines signed and unsigned integer types for various bit
sizes.  It would help if Data.Word made each type an instance of Random.
Per <http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Orphan_instance>, such an
instance should appear either in System.Random or Data.Word, and it
makes more sense to do the latter.
