Looks good to me.  I propose we resolve the naming and put it into the 
base package as a replacement for Data.PackedString.

Currently the module is called Data.FastPackedString and the type is 
FastString.  I like either Data.ByteString(ByteString) or 
Data.ByteSequence(ByteSequence) as a replacement, 
preferences/objections/alternatives?
