What's a LargeWord?
For example, the keys for for encryption algorithms are words of 128, 192, 256 bits. They are composed from smaller words.

Data.LargeWord seems reasonable, then. We probably don't want these in Data.Word. Do they support the full range of operations and instances?
Cheers, Simon Simon,
They only support enough operations to allow the Crypto package to work. It would be easy enough to develop the full range but I don't have time at the moment. Dominic.
