yes, *you* are happy with it and therefore propose to add it to the
base. *i* want to see it evolved sometime to support various
bytestring kinds and therefore propose to keep it in separate library.
otherwise, we will got either incompatibility between ghc versions or
legacy system.filepath in base and new version in some 3rd-party
