You shouldn't hope to get any useful results from Int after an arithmetic
overflow since the Haskell report explicitly says that the results are
unspecified. If you want predictable results, you should
It seems to me that it is worthwhile to fix [problems caused by overflow]
But what's the point?
If your code is going that close to the limits, it is already non-portable.
If you really do need to go that close to the limits, use a datatype whose
behaviour is precisely specified and portable
