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.
Though Data.Text still has the disadvantage of not being as nice to
deal with as String, since you can't pattern match on it, etc.
Whilst it may degrade performance, treating String as a list of
characters rather than an array provides you with greater flexibility
of how to deal with it.
But doesn't this basically mean sacrifice performance / applicability
for algorithmic beauty? Sure, pattern match comes in handy, but in the
case of strings at a high price
