It just occurred to me that I may have answered part of this myself on IRC
yesterday, in a different context: the strictness of the other instances
may not indicate a fundamental difference between Bool and the other
instances beyond the fact that the other instances are effectively
spine-strict bit arrays, whereas Bool is free to *express* laziness.
