If so, maybe the authors ought to mention it in the cabal.file / package description. I know it can use bytestrings which have efficiency advantages over String, but that doesn't make it online.Well, RWH talks about Parsecs' "input stream", so maybe I'm just confusing the terms: http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/using-parsec.html
Hm. I'd understand that as referring to the fact that Parsec 3 can use arbitrary input types instead of [Char], not to streams as in stream fusion or lazy processing.
