Description
PR #3828 adds hooks for Int and Bool sorted values that currently require frequent conversions from domain values to the internal types Integer and Bool (see https://github.com/runtimeverification/haskell-backend/pull/3828#discussion_r1586042771)
We should test an implementation that internalises these two sorts to avoid the conversion overhead.
If/when further hooks for other primitive types (String, Bytes) are implemented, they should likewise be internalised.

Research direction
Start by reading PR #3828 and the linked discussion, which describe the existing hooks for sorted Int and Bool values. No source file or test is named; done means testing internalized representations for both sorts and demonstrating that domain-to-internal conversions are avoided.
