I'm pleased to announce my new little library, data-dword[1]. It provides Template Haskell utilities for defining binary word data types from low and high halves, e.g.
data Word96 = Word96 Word32 Word64 -- strictness is configurable data Int96 = Int96 Int32 Word64
What is the advantage over 'largeword' which does the same with plain Haskell 98?
1) Control over strictness of the halves 2) Signed types 3) Extra instances/operations 4) Probably faster, due to specialization/inlining/rewrite rules. 5) Test suite
