Comment (by simonpj):<br>
<br>
</span> I suggest doing so only if the two can differ.  In the case of `String`<br>
 there can be string gaps, thus<br>
 {{{<br>
 foo :: String<br>
 foo = "blah blah\<br>
       \more blah blah\<br>
       \and more"<br>
 }}}<br>
 and I guess you want to have all that layout reproduced. Fine.  But for<br>
 integers like `3234242329423`, I don't see how the displayed form could<br>
 differ.<br>
<br>
 For `Words` perhaps there is binary/hex forms?<br>
<br>
 Regardless, I'm not against this, but very keen that the reasons for<br>
 keeping the two are documented on a per-literal basis, as I have begun to<br>
 do above.<br>
