Yes, I think that'd be fine.  The easiest way forward is for me to tag
a base64.1.0.0 that'll be compatible with the existing `string` users
(Cohttp, Dns), and for you to submit a Cstruct pull request that will
let the TLS libraries shift over.

Solving the packing issue would also unblock Conduit using TLS, as
that depends on Async and Lwt, which triggers the inconsistent build
issue (Gregory was blazing a trail in discovering the bug first :)
