[Haskell-beginners] the first argument of take is an Int and not Integral..

[Sunil S Nandihalli]

Hi everybody,
 I feel forcing the first argument of take to be an Int is unnecessarily
restrictive .. Is there a rationale behind not making it just (Integral a) ?

right now it is
take::Int->[a]->[a]

I was thinking may be

take::(Integral b)=>b->[a]->[a]

would be better...

Thanks,
Sunil.
