Comment(by basvandijk):

 I also attached a patch which adds `IsString` instances for `Vectors` of
 `Chars`. If you enable the `OverloadedStrings` language extension you can
 construct vectors using:

 {{{
 > :set -XOverloadedStrings
 > import Data.Vector
 > "Hello World!!!" :: Vector Char
 "Hello World!!!"
 }}}

 Note that this patch goes nicely with the previous patch which adds
 specific Show instances for `Vectors` of `Chars`.
