I see you use the (evaluate . rnf) composition.

I also used it in:

https://github.com/basvandijk/vector-bytestring/blob/master/bench.hs#L118

and called it:

deepEvaluate :: NFData a => a -> IO ()
deepEvaluate = evaluate . rnf

I'm not sure about the name but I think it would be nice if this was
added to Control.DeepSeq.
