The documentation claim that "The default implementation of 'deepseq' 
is simply 'seq'" is not exactly right, as `deepseq` and `seq` have 
different signatures.  Which raises the more interesting question: 
Why did you choose a different signature?  And, would a version of 
`seq` with the same signature as `deepseq` be useful?
