  This package provides methods for fully evaluating data structures
  (\"deep evaluation\"). Deep evaluation is often used for adding
  strictness to a program, e.g. in order to force pending exceptions,
  remove space leaks, or force lazy I/O to happen. It is also useful
  in parallel programs, to ensure pending work does not migrate to the
  wrong thread.
  .
  The primary use of this package is via the 'deepseq' function, a
  \"deep\" version of 'seq'. It is implemented on top of an 'NFData'
  typeclass (\"Normal Form Data\", data structures with no unevaluated
  components) which defines strategies for fully evaluating different
  data types.
