Yes, I can convince other people that `pipes` is the right abstraction
for streaming and to include it in the Haskell platform. I also plan to
get `pipes-concurrency` in, too. I have no plans at the moment to get
`pipes-parse` (because of the `free` dependency) or `pipes-safe`
(because it's not a very elegant library) into the platform.
I think you and Andrew are focusing too much on just the Haskell
Platform argument. I made several other arguments, all of which I
believe outweigh the benefits of using the `void` package.
Note that I'm not a dependency Nazi. For example, I depend on `free`
for `pipes-parse` because the benefits of using it currently outweigh
the costs. I just can't say the same for `void`.

Not only that, but what are your feelings on this library making the
platform? I don't mean that in a nasty way, but after watching the
effort to just get packages bumped by a version, the chance of one
streaming library (out of a pool of many viable contenders) making it
into the platform appears to be a very tough battle. Judging by your
stance on void you presumably think that battle is winnable.
So i stand with Andrew - this only makes sense if you both believe in
the platform and in your library joining it. Of course, you've
convinced me pipes is the right abstraction - but do you truly believe
you can convince everyone else? (Honest question)
In terms of void, I don't really mind. Of course, my preference is to
stick with void - its practically impossible to write anything without
eventually depending on it or its dependencies these days. But I have
no need to actually touch this type, so I don't mind either way.
