Comment (by hvr):

 > For sure. It's a bit sad, though, that we're discarding a perfectly good
 name simply because it was originally stuck in the wrong class. I guess
 that's life.

 Oh, now that I read the type-sig more carefully, I see it changes from
 `BitSize a =>` to `FiniteBitSize a =>`; which makes me more neutral on
 this. I guess it's a sensible thing to do; the only downside is that we
 carry around redundancy (e.g. an alias for `finiteBiteSize`).
