Just to pick out this small tidbit, FWIW the Vector.index and Vector.Unsafe.index scheme has the advantage that you could simply swap out a module import to switch between bounds-checked and unchecked implementations. I agree with vector going into the platform, but have no opinion on whether the Safe Haskell issues need to be resolved first. -- Your ship was caught in a monadic eruption.
