   .
   See documentation in "Data.ByteString.Plain" for more details about
   this representation.
+  .
+  As an alternative, recent `bytestring` versions provide
+  "Data.ByteString.Short" which has a similiar overhead but uses unpinned
+  memory instead (and thus requires an additional string data copy in
+  contrast to "Data.ByteString.Plain" which allows to share the string data
+  with the associated "Data.ByteString" value).
