-- In fact, there are no built-in functions for @Integer@s (or @Double@s) other
-- than @Integer/show@ and @Double/show@. As far as the language is concerned
-- they are opaque values that can only be shuffled around but not used in any
-- There are no built-in functions for @Integer@ arithmetic; however, conversion
-- to and from @Natural@s is possible usinng @Integer/clamp@, @Integer/negate@
-- and @Natural/toInteger@.

-- For @Double@s the situation is even more extreme: there are no built-in
-- functions other than @Double/show@. As far as the language is concerned they
-- are opaque values that can only be shuffled around but not used in any
-- meaningful way until they have been loaded into Haskell.

-- Second, the equality @(==)@ and inequality @(!=)@ operators only work on
