Operations on an Integer (e.g. addition, multplication) are not O(1).
On an Int, they are (for all intents and purposes). This

Hi folks,
I'm having a little problem when building the GHC as a package.
I've set the option 'BuildPackageGHC=YES' in the build.mk file and
done the usual steps to build the GHC under windows
(including the './configure --host=i386-unknown-mingw32
--with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc').
But I'm getting th

Hmmm, "String -> [Word8]" would be nicer...
fromUTF :: String -> String
... and here: "[Word8] -> String" or "[Word8] -> Maybe String".
Furthermore, UTF-8 is not restricted to a maximum of 3 bytes

The gtk2hs library uses the following functions internally.

I am writing some utilities to deal with UTF-8 encoded text files (not
source). Currently, I'm just reading in the UTF-8 directly, and things
work reasonably well, since my parse tokens are ASCII, they are easy to
parse.
However, the character type seems perfectly happy with larger values for

It looks like it is safe but it feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a
