For what it's worth, I think we need Data.Maybe.Strict,
Data.Tuple.Strict, and Data.Either.Strict in base. Only then will they
be accessible enough that we can start using them in APIs in core
packages. This will also make it easier to provide type class
instances (e.g. Binary) for them without creating odd package
dependencies (or packages that depends on everything under the sub).
