So, I would propose to change the FFI spec. The main reason being that there is already plenty of code which relies on the current definition in GHC's Bits and there is no good reason to break that code. Objections?
That's fine with me. Another conflict between the FFI spec and the current library implementation: the spec says "The function bitSize returns 0 for types that don't have a fixed bitsize (e.g. Integer)." whereas the current ghc implementation defines bitSize of Integer as a runtime error.
