The `Data.Trie.Internal` documentation says "This module is for developers who need deeper (and less stable) access to the abstract type", but it doesn't provide access to the constructors (unlike `Data.Map.Internal`, for example). The package is made available with many caveats: its name and its documentation both clearly suggest instability. My opinion is that they should be exported, and the risk that this will break other people's code is a risk they then take on knowingly.
