I've just uploaded deepseq-1.0.0.0 to Hackage

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq

This provides a DeepSeq class with a deepseq method, equivalent to the existing NFData/rnf in the parallel package.

If it's equivalent, what are the relevant differences? Why would I choose DeepSeq over NFData or vice versa?
