Re: Proposal: add `Proxy`fied versions of `bitSizeMaybe` and `finiteBitSize`

Alternatively, we could have it be `Proxy# a -> Int`, which should have identical performance characteristics to `Const Int a` but with the added benefit that it's a little easier to understand how it's supposed to be used. On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 12:37 AM, Zemyla wrote:

I honestly think we should make it a Const Int a, instead of a function, so that it's a number in the typeclass dictionary and not a function.
