>===== Original Message From Krasimir Angelov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >Hello Haskellers, > >There was a long discussion in October 2004, about the a FilePath >module which is currently used in Cabal.

This module is important if we would like to make >Haskell more portable. >Please answer to the following questions: > > * Have you used the existing FilePath module and what do you think >about it? >Do you found it useful?

The disadvantage is that >with the current IO library we should convert from ADT to String and >back again each time when we have to do any IO. The ADT may have >advantages for the internal library implementation. > > * Do you think that we have to use unboxed arrays of Word8/Word16 >for file path? > >Any other suggestions are welcome.
