In order to represent Z/nZ, regular way need to store two integers, and a
data constructer. With number parameterized types, newtype+Integer can be
used, it's much more efficient.
For this project, montg reduce require to calculate a key for each modulus,
but the modulus won't be changed within Num typeclass. It's better to fix
it in type system.
