How do you intent to store fractional numbers (like "10.01") without the Rat constructor?
10.01 = Exp 1001 (-2)
How do you represent "10.01e10"?
Exp Integer Integer
seems to be not enough.
10.01e10 = Exp 1001 8
In any case, "^" from the integer-gmp should not be used to compute a Rat value for the powers of 10. (see also http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3897)
True. I think it is time to take discussion to trac and just report to this list on final conclusion. -- Gracjan
