Perhaps I missed this or I'm missing something, but seeing a mention of
quasiquoting on another thread, I reread this entire thread just now before
posting.

We could try to find out how large Integers get, in practice, in
existing Haskell code (this may be difficult to find out).

As another data point, Python has also re-invented the GMP

complaining about it
Thanks for the data point.
Looks like they swapped
I was working on a shared library that loads up the GHC runtime (via hs_init)
and have been running into a bunch of undefined stg symbols.
A bit of digging and it seems that GHC doesn't embed

I think it would be great to have a benchmark, to test Integer
performance at various implementations. Perhaps it could test speed of
Int, Int64, Int32 as well (for computations that fit within them). I
suppose tight numeric loops are key to measuring performance in a useful
way (except for

Would you like to gather some of what you have learned into a user-oriented
Wiki page about how to use shared libraries in GHC? The right place for this is
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC
under Contributed documentation.
You probably have all the material in the
