Of course you should be able to specify what types you want. But it would
be nice if the default was correct rather than fast.

The differences between Int and Integer operations are mostly constant factors.
well, i will be unlucky if in my real-world program Integers would be used instead of Ints. defaulting provides a great way to solve this dilemma, so good-for-anyone approach may be: default defaulting to Integer instead of Int, and use (Num a) instead of Int in all standard functions such as length. with jhc-like automatic specialization feature this should provide enough speed
