I wanted to use the Strategies library and didn't understand much of it, so I sat down and documented it. The darcs version, http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base/Control/Parallel/Strategies.hs has my changes.
Perhaps it would make sense to move all the NFData material to a new module called, say, Control.NormalForm, and maybe add a deepSeq function there. Control.Parallel.Strategies is a somewhat surprising place to find normal form functions, and most of the people who are using them aren't thinking about parallelism.
Agreed. [ Bikeshed time: Control.Evaluation.Strategies anyone? ] Regards, Malcolm
