I've just uploaded deepseq-1.0.0.0 to Hackage
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq
This provides a DeepSeq class with a deepseq method, equivalent to
the existing NFData/rnf in the parallel package. I'll be using this
in a newly revamped parallel package, which I hope to upload shortly.
Cheers,

The documentation claim that "The default implementation of 'deepseq'
is simply 'seq'" is not exactly right, as `deepseq` and `seq` have
different signatures. Which raises the more interesting question:
Why did you choose a different signature? And, would a version of
`seq` with the same signature as `deepseq` be useful?
