Good stuff Simon!
It would be great if either strict-base-types, strict or a merger of the two will find its way into the Haskell Platform. Even better if it also merged with strict-concurrency and strict-io so that we have one go-to package for strict types and operations.
For what it's worth, I think we need Data.Maybe.Strict, Data.Tuple.Strict, and Data.Either.Strict in base. Only then will they be accessible enough that we can start using them in APIs in core packages. This will also make it easier to provide type class instances (e.g. Binary) for them without creating odd package dependencies (or packages that depends on everything under the sub). -- Johan
