Description

GHC.ForeignPtr? doesn't export ForeignPtrContents?. This means that this function can't be given a signature in user code:

f (ForeignPtr? _ x) = x

ForeignPtrContents? should be exported, at least abstractly, although exporting the constructors, too, would be useful for low-level code.
