Ok, unless there are any further objections, I'll change the names back to

class NFData a where rnf :: a -> ()

and also add

deepseq :: a -> b -> b

but I'll leave the module name as Control.DeepSeq.

I made this change and uploaded deepseq-1.1.0.0 on Friday. There's also an updated parallel-2.1.0.0, but after discussions with Phil Trinder and other Parallel Haskell gurus, I think there may be further changes forthcoming. Upshot: the new version of parallel is still changing, you might want to wait until things settle down (hopefully not long) before switching. Cheers, Simon
