Re: add Storable a => Storable (Ratio a) and Storable a => Storable (Complex a) to base

Sadly using Complex for Gaussian integers isn't possible with abs/signum in Num and that isn't changing any time soon. On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 1:55 PM, David Feuer wrote:

Presumably also Gaussian integers, also not the way it's defined in base.

Rather it makes me question whether `Ratio a` itself makes sense, and perhaps we should monomorphize it to Integers.

I've been questioning that for a while, to be honest.

There could be other big integer types. In principle, Ratio also works for polynomials, but not in the way it is defined in 'base'.
