Comment:

 Thanks.  Seemed to fit into the existing data types quite nicely.  I
 applied yoru patches. (Something went wrong with using your patches
 verbatim, so you are only credited as author in the commit message.)

     Add TH support for UNPACK pragmas (Trac #5290)

     The extension is nice, because it just adds an extra
     constructor to the existing data type 'Strict'.

     Thanks to Mikhail Vorozhtsov.
