When I tell the editor to save UTF-8, it inserts some weird "BOM" character at the start of the file - and thus, any attempt at programatically processing that file instantly fails. :-(

While BOMs (Byte Order Mark) are pretty irrelevant to byte-oriented
encodings like UTF-8, I think programs that fail on their presence can
be considered buggy.

Yay! Haskell's text I/O system is buggy. :-P
