This causes some trouble though, as the module named in PrelNames must
exist in both in integer-gmp and integer-simple i.e. it must be some
generic name like GHC.Integer.Type rather than a name containing e.g.
GMP. I could keep the data type definition where it is
(GHC.Integer.Type) but then I would have a hard time exporting it from
e.g. GHC.Integer.GMP.Internals without undoing Ian's patch which
removed the slightly odd GHC.Integer -> GHC.Integer.GMP.Internals ->
GHC.Integer.Type module dependency in integer-gmp.
