[Haskell-cafe] memorize function with number parameterized types in GHC

[Bin Jin]

It's all on these two functions. Three most frequently used operations of
Num (ModP x) are (+) (-) (*)，each of them will at least call p2num once(to
get the modulus), in addition multiplication will call montgKeys. usual
implementation do both in constant time: p2num is written as number literal
with type "Integral a=>a", so a reasonable implementation should handle
these two function in constant time(in amortized time, of course).
