Or we could stop exporting the internal bytestring APIs at all.

If you want to propose that it become a standard function rather than an
internal artifact of the bytestring lib then please do so. You might
want to see if people agree on the name. At the same time there's the
issue of locked vs. unlocked unsafePerformIO. Probably the best place
for all three is the same module where unsafePerformIO currently lives,
System.IO.Unsafe.
