I revised text upper bounds for

I would like to thank Emily Pillmore for encouraging me to take on this project, helping with the proposal and permissions. I’m grateful to my fellow text maintainers, who’ve been carefully reviewing my work in course of the last six months, as well as helpful and responsive maintainers of downstream packages and GHC developers. Thanks all, it was a pleasant journey!
