Hello Simon (et al.),
Some time ago, the `generic-deepseq` package was announced to the haskell-cafe list, and some discussion took place[1], and the suggestion came up that it might useful to be included to `deepseq` somehow.
IMHO, a least introduing way (which I've been using myself) would be to add something along the code below to the `Control.DeepSeq` module (only `genericsRnf` shall be exported, thus avoiding a PVP-major-bump):
As far as I know, deepseq is currently plain Haskell 98. This would no longer be true with a dependency on generics. Thus I would prefer to keep deepseq and generic-deepseq separated.
