Mostly because I hadn't looked, having had the code already laying 
around. I'm not opposed to it, however another goal is to remain 
portable to other compilers, which means being H98/H2010 compliant. 
NumberSieves uses BangPatterns, but that would be easily remedied if the 
author is willing; arithmoi looks quite nice, however it is GHC-only.
