I think this approach is much more cleaner.

Well, all haskell compilers are of course free to adopt my library (or parts of it) into their standard library. See it as a standard proposal. > Specially, the fact there is no one standard Haskell UTF-8 I/O library > is a real problem. There could be one now :) Question is, do you like the API? That's the most crucial question in adopting something like this as a standard, the rest is implementation detail. _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
