Re: proposal: add 'unsafeCoerce'

Currently, all implementations provide either the 'unsafeCoerce' or 'unsafeCoerce#' functions, but they live in implementation-specific locations. This proposal is to adopt the Haskell'98-compatible name 'unsafeCoerce', and to add it to the standard base library package. Suggested location: Data.Function.Unsafe?

I'd much prefer Data.Unsafe. (It is a function, but has nothing to do with functions as data type.) Wolfram
