Is there a way to get the prelude functions to use Integer by default rather than Int?

In general, I think it is cleaner to use explicit type signatures instead of defaulting. Running GHC with -Wall will warn you whenever you default to something.

Also it helps a lot tracking type errors (and other errors are nearly non-existing in Haskell ;) ). Regards
