Note: at least for Integer, allBits / oneBits is also definable, despite
note being Finite

I am -1 on the name zero. I don't think importing Data.Bits unqualified is uncommon at all, and zero is prime naming real estate. I am +0.5 on the addition overall, as most uses of Bits are with types that also have Num instances.
For those that don't have a Num instance, "zero" may not make as much sense.
Perhaps something like noBits would be better. And FiniteBits may also want an allBits?
Thanks Ian
