Yeah, readInt has a more useful type than atoi() in most circumstances
so obviously it's a default which somehow disqualify this function...
(I wasn't aware that this function was only useful in the shoutout
context, I should probably scrap it from my other programs now)

I think we should write all the entries in Haskell98 and disable any
optimisation in GHC too, that would gives us a much fairer vision of
Haskell current performances.
