Re: Ready for testing: Unicode support for Handle I/O

IIRC that was done in Bulat Ziganshin's streams library. That's exactly what I meant. Text IO could be then implemented on top of binary IO. Would it be possible to envision a solution that enables composition of IO low level strategies vs binary - text conversion strategies?

Simon Marlow wrote: The only change to the existing behaviour is that by default, text IO is done in the prevailing encoding of the system. Handles created by openBinaryFile use the Latin-1 encoding, as do Handles placed in binary mode using hSetBinaryMode. wouldn't be semantically correct for a binary handle to return [Word8]? also switching from text to binary (hSetBinaryMode) doesn't seem natural I understand that this has heavy consequences...
