IsString instance for FilePath is orphan

[sol]

E.g. the following does not work:

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Prelude hiding (FilePath)
import Filesystem.Path

foo :: FilePath
foo = "foo/"

Is this by intention?

I think it was, but it wasn't my intention. A few of us have been discussing some other breaking changes around this library, and most likely we'll include this kind of change at the same time.

Note that I've just announced that these libraries will be deprecated in favor of filepath and directory: https://plus.google.com/+MichaelSnoyman/posts/Ft5hnPqpgEx
