| 7.19.2. GHC's interpretation of undefined behaviour in Haskell 98
|
| This section documents GHC's take on various issues that are left
| undefined or implementation specific in Haskell 98. 
|
| Sized integral types
|
|    In GHC the Int type follows the size of an address on the host
|    architecture; in other words it holds 32 bits on a 32-bit
|    machine, and 64-bits on a 64-bit machine.

Looks like a reasonable way to go about it.
