Note: I didn't open this enhancement request.

A simpler solution is to offer a way to get the underlying value:

a.get += b.get;


In Haskell you can define the Num typeclass operations of a newclass, or just
define a simple function that uses pattern matching, and I use pattern matching
again to print it:

newtype T = T Int

add :: T -> T -> T
T a `add` T b = T (a + b)

main = do
    let a = T 10
    let b = T 20
    let c = a `add` b
    let T d = c
    print d
