On the flip side, Parsec is really nice. I wonder how easy it would

Isn't Parsec parameterized over the token type?
Or even a

String from hGetContents)?
From the FPS haddock:
hGetContents :: Handle -> IO FastString
Read entire handle contents into a FastString.
This may or may not do what you want...it's probably not a lazy read.
It seems like there might need to be something like:
hGetContentsLazily :: Handle -> IO [FastString]
which returns file contents in chunks based on our ability to buffer
the handle. If we can mmap the handle, we may get a singleton list
with a giant FastString; if we are using a Socket or a terminal, each
succeeding string might be the next chunk of available data from the
handle.
I had the impression the internals of getContents from the prelude
worked a bit like this (in GHC, anyway).
