May I request that, unless there's a significant speedup from using a
strict spine, that you use a lazy spine where possible. The reason
being that lazy data structures work much better in a parallel setting:
a strict spine is a course-grained lock on the whole operation, whereas
a lazy spine corresponds to a fine-grained locking strategy.
Apart from this, as you were ;)
Cheers,
Simon
