Not exactly. There is not newtype wrapper. NumLazyByteString is: instance Num L.ByteString where ... instance Enum L.ByteString where ... instance Integral L.ByteString where ... instance Bits L.ByteString where ... > If so, could this also > be done using a newtype around [Integer], where appropriately large Integers > are used? If yes, you may find > http://code.haskell.org/numeric-prelude/src/Number/Positional.hs > useful.
