Packed strings appear all over the compiler, sometimes reversed, sometimes not, intermixed with code that either assumes 'reversed-ness' or doesn't. It would be seriously hard work to change :-)
Well I think I've run into this problem...maybe. All but one of the tests pass, the one that doesn't is the timeLargeArray test, and it fails with this error yhc: superclassesI InfoUsed (Id 68) [(Type class,Ord,"Data.Ix ",510:8-510:10)] Now my main question is how some PackedStrings can be reversed and others not when it looks like everything that uses PackedString imports it from SysDeps? The only exception I could find was compiler98/DotNet/Show.hs.
