While BOMs (Byte Order Mark) are pretty irrelevant to byte-oriented

Yay! Haskell's text I/O system is buggy. :-P
Works for me, but feel free to file a bug or provide a more specific
report.
I was actually commenting on the other guy's remark that "anything that
chokes on a BOM can be considered buggy" - not entirely seriously. ;-)
If there is a "bug" to be reported, it is merely that [the GHC
implementation of] Haskell appears to interpret files as containing
"8-bit ASCII", rather than doing real character encodings. I have no
idea whether anybody has filed a bug report / feature request for this.
(Come to think of it, I have no idea how to check either...)
