Following the comments over the last few days, I've implemented and
tagged FPS 0.3. Changes include:
* Clearer docs. Emphasis on support only for latin-1
* Partition out the few Word8 functions
* Merge in all of Simon's QC tests into a combined test/benchmark suite
* Stress testing on huge data quantities
* Space profiling, improved some functions
* Clarify BSD license everything
I think its about ready to become a ByteSequence (or whatever) library:
a useful (actually, critical, imo) interim until we have a full
Unicode/UTF* layer, and a Storable a => Vector a, set up. At that point,
the Word8/Char issues resolve themselves.
As usual, info is all here:

Looks good to me. I propose we resolve the naming and put it into the
base package as a replacement for Data.PackedString.
Currently the module is called Data.FastPackedString and the type is
FastString. I like either Data.ByteString(ByteString) or
Data.ByteSequence(ByteSequence) as a replacement,
preferences/objections/alternatives?
Cheers,
Simon
