I'm pleased to announce my new little library, data-dword[1]. It
provides Template Haskell utilities for defining binary word data
types from low and high halves, e.g.
data Word96 = Word96 Word32 Word64 -- strictness is configurable
data Int96 = Int96 Int32 Word64
What is the advantage over 'largeword' which does the same with plain
Haskell 98?
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/largeword
1) Control over strictness of the halves
2) Signed types
3) Extra instances/operations
4) Probably faster, due to specialization/inlining/rewrite rules.
5) Test suite
