Comment:
Can we do the rule at an earlier point, i.e.
{{{
(fromInteger <numeric literal x>) + (fromInteger <numeric literal y>)
==>
(fromInteger <numeric literal (x + y)>)
}}}
where we have inferred that the type is `Integer`? Then we don't have to
worry about any checking that we don't already do.
Re word size differences, we already have that problem when we transform
{{{
(fromInteger 3)
}}}
into
{{{
S# 3
}}}
