So here is a concrete proposal:

* Haskell98 IO to terminals should use the current locale
encoding.
Personally, I'd find this deeply surprising. I don't care that much what
locale gets used for I/O (if it matters, you have to deal with it
explicitly anyway) as long as it is consistent. I'm probably mistaken,
but doesn't this proposal mean that I can't implement cat in H98 using
text I/O? That would be a bit disturbing.
Also, would this affect the encoding used for file names? If so, how?
