Show '#' on unboxed literals

Currently, unboxed literals are shown in the same way as boxed literals (without #):

Prelude> :set -XMagicHash
Prelude> :m GHC.Prim
Prelude GHC.Prim> data T = MkT Int# deriving Show
Prelude GHC.Prim> MkT 3#
MkT 3

It would be nice if this would show MkT 3# instead. I have a patch.
