Here's a pet hobbyhorse of mine. Prelude> read "3333333333333333333333" :: Int -5527344008095509163 Other fixed-width integral types (those in Data.Int and Data.Word) behave similarly. I'd prefer to see the whole lot throw an overflow exception upon detecting a wraparound. I'll be happy to provide a sample implementation.
