I think, it's perfectly sensible for arithmetical types like Integer.  If you 
mean “the next integer” then succ n is the most logical thing to write.  If 
you write n + 1 instead, you invoke a more complex operation (addition) with 
a special constant as one of its parameters, and this obfuscates what you 
actually mean, in my opinion.

Best wishes,
