I suspect that patching parallel doesn't scale. It doesn't have a
maintainer, so it will be slow, and the package will end up dragging
in everything under the sun if we centralise instances in there. I
think that the instance belongs in bytestring instead. I know that
this would make everything depend on parallel, but that doesn't seem
as bad a problem.
