I'm interested to hear what functionality MemoTrie has that
data-memocombinators does not.  I wrote the latter in hopes that it
would be strictly more powerful*.

* Actually MemoTrie wasn't around when I wrote that, but I meant the
combinatory technique should be strictly more powerful than a
typeclass technique.  And data-memocombinators has many primitives, so
I'm still curious.
