The documentation claim that "The default implementation of 'deepseq'
is simply 'seq'" is not exactly right, as `deepseq` and `seq` have
different signatures.
Yes indeed. In order to use deepseq, it looks like I also need some way
to force the () return value, e.g.
let res = deepseq (my big computation)
in res `seq` use res
or
let res = deepseq (my big computation)
in case res of () -> use res
or
let !res = deepseq (my big computation)
in use res
Cheers,
Simon
