Can anyone summarize the trade-offs between the Camomile and Netstring
(netconversion) unicode translation libraries? The netconversion
documentation (http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/dl/ocamlnet-2.2.9/doc/html-main/Netconversion.html
) mentions that Camomile implements text strings as int arrays,
whereas it encodes them as packed native strings... so I'm guessing
that Netstring is a win space-wise when random access isn't needed.
However, are there other trade-offs to be aware of -- bugs, other
performance issues, ease of use? Camomile seems to provide a larger
number of conversions, but I have no idea whether these are actually
useful, or simply legacy artifacts.
I think my unicode needs are fairly simple, but then again, maybe
everyone thinks that as they're diving off this cliff. :-)
