My question or discussion point: Why not depreciate [Char] altogether
and favour of lazy Bytestrings?
A sequence of bytes is not the same thing as a sequence of Unicode
code points. If you want to replace String by something more efficient
have a look at Data.Text.
How are ByteStrings (Lazy, UTF8) and Data.Text meant to co-exist? When I read
bytestrings over a socket which happens to be UTF16-LE encoded and identify a
fitting function in Data.Text, I guess I have to transcode them with
Data.Text.Encoding to make the type System happy?
