If I may free-ride on this thread: how should one go about deriving a Data.Binary instance for text? It looks like doing it efficiently would require using some parts of the internal module that are not exposed, am I correct? I've been using "encodeUtf8", but that doesn't feel right. I don't know what to do, hopefully I'm missing something simple. I agree with Duncan, the text API is beautifully designed. Thanks!
