I don't fully understand this... I made sure my Haskell implementation's 
"Bits" was consistent with the existing (GMP) version, which you call 
"arithmetically"... it seemed that any other semantics would reveal 
(depend on) implementation details.  and I was able to make it 
reasonably asymptotically-efficient anyway.
