The Real instances were already present by virtue of INTEGRAL_TYPE,
so no change required there.

However, now that CClock and CTime have become mere ARITHMETIC_TYPE,
they seem to have lost their previous instances of Bounded and Integral.
Is this correct?

I'll think about it.  Possibly all of nhc98's FFI libraries need to
move into a separate package, so they can depend on package base.
