Word is basically useless as an "efficient small-ish Natural" for this reason, and only makes sense when you specifically want the machine- specific wrap-around behavior, or when doing bit manipulation only.
A fixed-precision type with the underflow semantics of `Natural` could be useful. Anyway </offtopic> -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11349#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
