Comment(by singpolyma):

 It would be pretty awesome if any enumeration (all-nullary constructors)
 could be treated as codegen-equivalent to `Int#` internally, with Enum,
 Eq, and Ord just being wrappers around the obvious primops.  Though I'm
 not sure what the moving parts of such a proposal would be.
