I wrote an example with prime numbers that you can run in the Haskell playground:

This is wrong. In the example above `addPrimes` will only take prime numbers.

As such if I make a Jira story that says "add multiply/subtract functions using the PrimeNumber type" I'll know that implementation is simplified by only being able to concern itself with prime numbers.
