Description
I'm trying to write a patch to `optparse-applicative` to use `prettyprinter` instead.
One of the [requirements](https://github.com/pcapriotti/optparse-applicative/pull/428#discussion_r709511025) is to not create a dependency on the `text` package.
The `SText` constructor uses `Text` which forces me to use `Data.Text.pack` and `Data.Text.unpack` which forces me to add a dependency on `text`.
If `prettyprinter` exports `pack`, `unpack` and `Text`, I believe it would solve my problem because I will be able to use it to convert to `String` do my work there and convert back.
