Comment (by duncan):
Can I suggest that a better approach is to use an abstract type like
ByteString but that represents a sequence of Unicode Chars rather than
bytes. That's a much nicer interface than a ByteString which is assumed to
be valid UTF8.
A student of mine is implementing a Unicode text type with an external api
and internal representation and performance that is very similar to that
of bytestrings. The work should be completed during this summer.
Then Gtk2Hs could have a nice interface and decent performance for large
chunks of text.
