yes it's not meant to come out.  It's an internal record of what
strictness marks you put on the data type.

| ghci-6.3 (from CVS) shows me strictness information when I
| request :info for a data type, like:
| 
|     [...] Send Mailbox   Stricts: _ [...]
| 
| I have no idea how to read that output, and it doesn't seem
| to be documented in the manual either. Does the underscore
| signify that (in the example above) Mailbox is a strict
| value? Or is it the opposite?
| 
| Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I simply don't know
| it. :-)
