This implements a type with a compact representation of `[Char]`. The data is stored internally as UTF8 in an 'Data.ByteString.Short.ShortByteString' when compiled against `bytestring >= 0.10.4`, and otherwise in a plain old `[Char]`. `ShortByteString` is available only from `bytestring` 0.10.4 on, and GHC 7.8.4 was the first GHC to bundle `binary-0.10.4`. So this fallback affects mostly only GHC 7.6 and older. Note: Originally a strict `ByteString` was used as fallback for this patch. However, the `[Char]` fallback avoids pinned memory and may be more preferable when dealing with many small `ShortText`s
