I think it would make more sense to have different operations for each
rounding mode. That matches the reality of the situation more and you
don't want to have to do tons of type conversions when you need to
operate on something with different rounding modes. of course, then you
could declare several 'newtypes' whose default Num instances were of
specific rounding modes too.
