(For example, by typing just -1.3) I'm guessing this would be best done by adding support for integers, then making the rationals use the integers instead of Nats. This might be confusing for the type checker though because it wouldn't know whether a number like 4 was a type int or a type nat. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8697#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
