Comment(by JulesBean):
Go ahead. Text.Pretty is not particularly widely used and users of
Text.Pretty will not find this hard to resolve in their own code should
they choose to do so.
As a historical note:
Replying to [comment:38 igloo]:
> If it won't generalise `Text.Pretty.<>`, then I wonder why we don't name
it `++` instead (and remove the current `++` definition).
`<>` was chosen because of the match to `Data.Sequence.<>` not
`Text.Pretty.<>` according to my scanning of the bug / email thread / my
memory (on a recommendation from Ross Patterson).
