I'm just saying I don't want to be forced to use it.
If others like it, I'm not dismissing it.

True. Perhaps you'd be able to get IsBuiltinString instances
for those too, using newtype deriving, if only the method
names of IsBuiltinString are hidden and the class name is
exported.

If that doesn't work, I'm fine with using a quasiquoter for
those instead. Or even just the usual newtype unwrapping
and wrapping. And again, if you provide IsString and others
want to use it, that's fine.

Thanks,
