[Haskell-cafe] Trying to write 'safeFromInteger'

problem here is that GHC doesn't know what maxBound you mean. is it
maxBound::Int8? or maxBound::Word128? it has nothing common with the
value you return later

so you need to use either scoped type variables or usual asTypeOf
trick. look recent cafe threads for more info
