Is there a particular reason for first deprecating the functions exported from 
Data.Vector, instead of just removing them from their original location? By 
removing the Data.Vector.Safe module you already break some existing code, with 
the easy fix of moving to import Data.Vector. Moving the the unsafe functions to 
Data.Vector.Unsafe would introduce similar breakage, with a similarly easy fix 
of adding an import declaration.
