Comment (by igloo):
Hmm, it seems inconsistent to have these two:
{{{
mkIntConstr :: DataType -> Integer -> Constr
mkFloatConstr :: (Real a) => DataType -> a -> Constr
}}}
Shouldn't it either be
{{{
mkIntConstr :: DataType -> Integer -> Constr
mkFloatConstr :: DataType -> Rational -> Constr
}}}
or
{{{
mkIntConstr :: (Integral a) => DataType -> a -> Constr
mkFloatConstr :: (Real a) => DataType -> a -> Constr
}}}
?
The `*Float*` names are also confusing, but presumably the plan is to
transition away from them?
