Not only that, but these additions and the deprecation are consistent with a
minor version bump as per the package versioning policy:

If you want to wait until 7.2, that's fine, but if I'm not mistaken
"foldWithKey" has already been deprecated in the GHC 7 release of
containers and so the horse has already left the barn.
