Int is for bounded values -2**32 to 2**32 (I think... maybe 2**-31 and 2**31 or less if it's boxed?) based on the underlying machine representation.
Not really true. As far as I remember, the Haskell Report just says that Int covers at least the integers from -2^27 to 2^27 - 1. The range for Int can be higher than the range just given. For 32-bit machines it will probably be -2^31 to 2^31 - 1 but there's no guarantee for that.
