However, we still lack constant folding for these numbers so there is money left on the table. To fix this you will want to implement rules similar to those for `Integer` in the `PrelRules` module. Additionally, you will need to comment back in the `CONSTANT_FOLDED` pragmas in `GHC.Natural` (see Phab:D5267) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15821 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
