I am curious why FPS is implemented on top of ForeignPtr. ByteArray#
based implementation should be faster and more space efficient.

Case ignoring comparisons make only sense on characters - not on bytes. And fps is ignoring character set conversion issues. I think the proper way is to provide a layer on top of (and separate from) fps that does conversion into character strings where things like case make sense.
Indeed, SimonM's packed string code, which I'm currently integrating into FPS, is such a layer.
