Agreed.
Committed.
I'm wondering if we should also have hSetLocaleEncoding, hSetFileSystemEncoding :: TextEncoding -> IO () and change localeEncoding, fileSystemEncoding :: IO TextEncoding. hSetFileSystemEncoding in particular would let people opt-out of escapes entirely as long as they issued it right at the start of their program before the fileSystemEncoding had been used.
Ok by me.
I've done this as well. One wart is that System.IO.localeEncoding :: TextEncoding and I dn't want to break that API. So the System.IO.localeEncoding is always the *initial* locale encoding and does not reflect later changes via setLocaleEncoding. Max
