I think that would make most sense given how important deep strictness can be in certain situations. A separate, very small package would also be reasonable. Don Stewart wrote:
Should NFData class and instances be in base?
Data.Strict ?

Hi,
NFData seems to be the "standard" deepseq-style class these days, but it lives in Control.Parallel.Strategies in the parallel package whereas it obviously has uses beyond this. Is there a case for moving it into its own package and module?
I'd also like to add something like
strictly :: (Monad m, NFData a) => m a -> m a strictly ma = do a <- ma rnf a `seq` return a
The most important use for this would be to provide a standard way to do strict IO:
strictly $ readFile "..." strictly $ hGetContents ...
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Ganesh
