Warning for literal overflow
Using ghc 7.6.3, the following compiles without warnings on -Wall:
import Data.Word
test :: Word8
test = 300
main = print testI expected this to issue a warning like: "Warning: literal overflow on line 4". I know GCC for example does this and it would be nice if GHC did this too.
