I understand that gmp is needed for the certain libraries like the Prelude with Double and Integer.
Why is GMP needed for Double? Based on the online report Double is "double precision floating"; it does not need to represent arbitrary big numbers. I thought it is there only for Integers and Rationals.
It isn't needed for Double. Double is a native type.
