No, it's not an oversight. The implementation is not complete. Just last week, we have started a second go at a complete implementation of fast arrays. Don't hold your breath though, it's a lot of work. The interface of GHC.PArr will not change very much, but it'll use type classes and associated types in a very essential way. Underneath, a lot of GHC specific will be used to optimise code, such as rewrite rules. So, I don't think this is suitable for Haskell'.
