Comment(by tibbe):
After thinking about this for a while I've convinced myself that we want
to export the constructors from `GHC.Integer.GMP.Internals`. `GHC.Integer`
and its submodules (except `GMP` in the case of integer-gmp and `Simple`
in the case of integer-simple) represent the API shared between the two
packages. If you want to import something that's specific to one package
then you should mention `GMP` or `Simple` explicitly. With this reasoning
the `GHC.Integer.Type` module in each package should be moved into the
implementation specific namespace (`GMP` or `Simple`) and be exported (in
part) through `GMP.Internals` or `Simple.Internals`.
