| It'd be lovely if the Haskell report took a stand on the | issue, but I suspect that may be too much to hope for.
Actually, it'd be an easy, non-destablising change to make to the Report to specify the behaviour of the Int instance of fromInteger on numbers larger than will fit in an Int. If a consensus emerges I'm quite happy to enshrine it in H98.
