Comment (by dreixel):
The problem with
{{{
mkFloatConstr :: DataType -> Rational -> Constr
}}}
is that it breaks existing code which uses 'mkFloatConstr'. I would then
prefer to change 'mkIntConstr' to
{{{
mkIntConstr :: (Integral a) => DataType -> a -> Constr
}}}
instead.
I agree that the names are not ideal. We could also make them
'mkIntegralConstr' and 'mkRealConstr', deprecating the old ones, I guess.
