My question for all present is: Have I missed either a problem with using Integer, or have I overlooked a better representation?
With my Modula background, where a machine-oriented SET type is available, I consider using integers as bit sets (as in Data.Bits) as a hack. Assuming that integers are stored by binary numbers might be true for all todays computer systems, but I wouldn't count on that. According to its interface, Data.IntSet might be an option for you. http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Data-IntSet.html
