Comment(by tibbe):
I don't quite understand the motivation for this change:
{{{
No need to export Integer from GHC.Integer.GMP.Internals
This caused an odd dependency in the module hierarchy.
}}}
Could someone please elaborate on what this odd dependency is?
We do need to export the constructors somewhere as some algorithms can
only be implemented efficiently in terms of them (e.g. hexadecimal
encoding of `Integer`s).
