Switch the underlying UnicodeData data type from the current ByteString
implementation to String. This is in order to facilitate descriptions
Unicode descriptions of the Unicode characters themselves. We chose
String instead of Text because it does not incur an extra dependency.

This is a convenience module in order to have less import noise. It
re-exports the following:
a) Commonly used modules in full (Data.Foldable, Data.Applicative, and
so on); though only those that play nicely with each other, so that
XMonad.Prelude can be imported unqualified without any problems.
This prevents things like `Prelude.(.)` and `Control.Category.(.)`
fighting with each other.
b) Helper functions that don't necessarily fit in any other module;
e.g., the often used abbreviation `fi = fromIntegral`.
Starting with 5240116f3cdf169e3aa226d9f8206a5f5b99c867 we only support
GHC versions 8.4.4 and up (more precisely, the GHC version associated
with stackage lts-12 and up). The imports in question are now in
Prelude and need not be imported explicitly.
I have been using this code locally for years now, and it turned out to
be quite useful in many cases, so I thought it is about time to submit
it to the repository.
