Thanks for changing the subject, I forgot to do that. I have a similar derivation for a Data.Binary instance, but after looking at Text.Internal, I got the impression that it wasn't as efficient as it could be. But yes, in general this boils down to your questions. I do remember someone asking a similar question perhaps a year or so ago. Now that we have Haskell Platform, does that change anything? In particular, I believe Data.Binary is proposed for inclusion in the platform.
