I am chatting with the GMP (GNU Multi-Precision number library) people
about "unboxed" (no pointer) representations.

What do you experts on such implementations think would be a suitable
low-level GMP implementation; that is, that would make the use in say GHC
easier? (As I think GHC uses GMP, I thought this might the right place to
ask for an input).
