As long as no-one is tempted to create "instance IsChar Word8", I'll be
happy.
Have you considered possible type ambiguity issues? There may be a case
for generalising "++" to the Monoid class, but that might not work well
with this.

I'm suspicious, but as long as a Char is never ever implicitly
coverted to an integer type such as Word8, I suppose it might be OK.
I will rant about this on request.
