Comment(by simonmar):
Replying to [comment:9 ross]:
> This behaviour has been specified by the FFI spec since 2002, and was
incorporated into Haskell 2010. The documentation of the module has been
promising this change since 2004, and in all that time the alternative
CAString versions have been available, so it's probably not too hasty to
implement it now. I fear you're right about breakage, but it has to
happen some time.
Then I fear we will all need to brace for impact before the next major
release :-)
