Proposal: Add {to, from}Strict conversion functions between strict and lazy ByteStrings

[Don Stewart]

Just as a historical note, they were intentionally left out of the original
bytestring library, as it was felt it would only encourage mixing up lazy
and strict bytestrings, with resulting poor and confusing performance.

It was intentional that you had to compose two functions to do this.
