-- [Unsafe Messaging Primitives Using NFData]
--
-- This module mirrors "Control.Distributed.Process.UnsafePrimitives", but
-- attempts to provide a bit more safety by forcing evaluation before sending.
-- This is handled using @NFData@, by means of the @NFSerializable@ type class.
--
-- Note that we /still/ cannot guarantee that both the @NFData@ and @Binary@
-- instances will evaluate your data the same way, therefore these primitives
-- still have certain risks and potential side effects. Use with caution.
