Let me simplify the example:

testW1 :: WireP () Double
testW1 = pure 1.0

testW2 :: WireP () Double
testW2 = 1.0

main = do
  let (res, _) = stepWire 1.0 () testW
  putStrLn $ show res

(set testW to testW1 or testW2).
When I test this with testW=testW2 I see that "fromRational" is called
which converts a Rational (=Ration Integer) to a WireP () Double (I
tested this by adding a "trace" to the fromRational
Control/Wire/Classes.hs).
This means the "1.0" is converted to a Rational and then back to a WireP
() Double, correct?

I currently can not get ghcjs to work, but I will continue trying.
