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. +EOF |
