In fact, we deliberately export the constructors for these datatypes in order to satisfy a requirement of the Haskell 2010 Report (§ 8.4.2) that if a newtype is used in a foreign declaration, then its constructor must be visible. This requirement was motivated by the fact that using a type in a foreign declaration necessarily exposes some information about the type to the user, so being able to use abstract types in a foreign declaration breaks their abstraction (see #3008). As a result, the constructors of all FFI-related newtypes in base must be exported in order to be useful for FFI programming, even at the cost of exposing their underlying, architecture-dependent types. -}
