Is there anything in haskell that represents an unsigned Int class?
namely, something bounded below at 0?
The module Data.Word provides unsigned integral types with
modular arithmetic: Word (same size as Int), Word8, Word16,
etc.

    $ ghci
    > import Data.Word
    ...
    > maxBound :: Word
    18446744073709551615
    > maxBound :: Word8
    255
    > maxBound :: Word32
    4294967295
    > 0 - 1 :: Word8
    255
    > maxBound + 1 :: Word8
    0

Is that what you are looking for?
