Comment (by malcolm.wallace at cs.york.ac.uk):

 Several people have mentioned that it would be good to start a new
 "Unsafe.*" hierarchy to store unsafe functions.  This makes it easier to
 spot (and exclude, if so desired) unsafe functions in programs.  I
 therefore amend the proposal to store unsafeCoerce in a module called
 Unsafe.Coerce.  Later proposals might want to move some of the Array and
 IO operations into this new Unsafe.* hierarchy as well.
