Comment (by Isaac Dupree):
Couldn't the desugarer treat them as Integers and the code generator deal
with it later? (this assumes that GHC's integers and the boot-lib integers
are extensionally equivalent, which should be a reasonable assumption!)
(I'm sure I'm just being naive here? But do we really necessarily lose
out for treating Integers as a unit we can understand rather than a
composition of Int#s?)
