#2813: Create a utf8 bytestring-a-like
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: igloo | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: 6.12 branch
Component: libraries (other) | Version: 6.10.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
There are a number of things we want a utf8 bytestring-a-like for:
* GHC's !FastString to be built on top of
* Text.!PrettyPrint.ptext (this means we can drop GHC's utils/Pretty)
* template haskell, to use in place of packedstring
* possibly to use in the base IO libraries (see also #2811)
* possibly to use in haskeline (see also #2812)
and probably more besides. Ideally all of this will be done comfortably in
time for 6.12!
