Description

In https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-12-03-shrinks-applicative/, @aspiwack introduces a handy tool for defining shrinkers: the Shrinks Applicative.

Could Shrinks be integrated into QuickCheck, so it's easily available for users?!

Done means agreeing on an integration approach and making Shrinks readily available to QuickCheck users, with coverage for the resulting behavior.
