I don't fully understand this... I made sure my Haskell implementation's
"Bits" was consistent with the existing (GMP) version, which you call
"arithmetically"... it seemed that any other semantics would reveal
(depend on) implementation details. and I was able to make it
reasonably asymptotically-efficient anyway.
