[Haskell-cafe] How to ensure optimization for large immutable vectors to be shared w.r.t. Referential Transparency

[YueCompl]

```hs
λ> let !v = VS.fromList [3,2,5] in isSameVector (SomeVector v) (SomeVector v)
False
λ> 
λ> let !v = SomeVector (VS.fromList [3,2,5]) in isSameVector v v
True
λ> 
```
