Comment (by Bodigrim):

 `Compose` itself makes no difference, of course. The instance from your PR
 is equivalent to `resolution = (10 ^) . natVal . Compose`. My suggestion
 is to put `resolution = natVal . Compose`, which makes us able to express
 desired accuracy both in decimal (`E 1000`) and binary (`E 1024`) digits,
 as well as in any other base.
