* All arithmetic is performed modulo 2^n, where n is the number of
- bits in the type. One non-obvious consequence of this is that 'negate'
+ bits in the type. One non-obvious consequence of this is that 'Prelude.negate'
should /not/ raise an error on negative arguments.
* For coercing between any two integer types, use
- 'fromIntegral', which is specialized for all the
+ 'Prelude.fromIntegral', which is specialized for all the
common cases so should be fast enough. Coercing word types to and
from integer types preserves representation, not sign.
-* It would be very natural to add a type 'Natural' providing an unbounded
- size unsigned integer, just as 'Integer' provides unbounded
+* It would be very natural to add a type @Natural@ providing an unbounded
+ size unsigned integer, just as 'Prelude.Integer' provides unbounded
size signed integers. We do not do that yet since there is no demand
for it.
-* The rules that hold for 'Enum' instances over a bounded type
- such as 'Int' (see the section of the Haskell report dealing
- with arithmetic sequences) also hold for the 'Enum' instances
+* The rules that hold for 'Prelude.Enum' instances over a bounded type
+ such as 'Prelude.Int' (see the section of the Haskell report dealing
+ with arithmetic sequences) also hold for the 'Prelude.Enum' instances
over the various 'Word' types defined here.
* Right and left shifts by amounts greater than or equal to the width
