deprecate, but not remove bitSize this iteration, and make a separate class FiniteBits for things with a finite, fixed number of bits:
class Bits b => FiniteBits b where finiteBitSize :: b -> Int finiteBitSize = bitSize
Bit size is always finite in strict data types, isn't it? I suggest a name containing "Fixed".
