`intersperse :: Char -> Text -> Text`
Yeah, that looks silly indeed. Should be pruned or marked as spam.
"Spam" is a bit harsh. And it does indeed have some use (albeit primarily with test suites and quite possibly more efficient ways to do the required task anyway): https://github.com/search?l=Haskell&q=Text.intersperse&type=Code

I know applications for `intercalate :: Text -> [Text] -> Text`: `unwords`, `unlines`, etc. But what is `intersperse :: Char -> Text -> Text` good for? Am I correct assuming that its sole merit is to mimic `Data.List` API? Note that `Data.List.intersperse` is polymorphic and is exceedingly rarely used for `Char -> String -> String`.
