well, i will be unlucky if in my real-world program Integers would be
used instead of Ints. defaulting provides a great way to solve this
dilemma, so good-for-anyone approach may be: default defaulting to
Integer instead of Int, and use (Num a) instead of Int in all standard
functions such as length. with jhc-like automatic specialization
feature this should provide enough speed
