I see. Then a better name might be DeepSeq.IO.withContents or DeepSeq.IO.withFileContents or DeepSeq.IO.hWithContents I still think, that 'safe' is not a good part of a Haskell function name, because 'safe' should be the default. If at all, we could rename hGetContents to unsafeHGetContents. A nested call to withContents would still run deepseq twice, right?
