MVector data instances are exposed from Unboxed and Unboxed.Mutable #492
Description

I was confused as to why Vector data instances are not exposed but MVector instances are.
Then I found #49 (comment) which explains why exposing them is unsafe, which is fair. But then there is no reason to expose the MVector instances. This wasn't answered in #49.
I would expect this to consistent between Vector and MVector. Or perhaps this issue is known but the MVector instances are not hidden to avoid breakage?

Yes mutable vector were exposed early in the development for some reason. And yes hiding them is a breaking change

Thanks, that answers the question! Please close this if there is nothing to be done about it.
