Hi
You'd have to conditionally use overloaded strings in GHC only. I'm not sure it would work ( can you quantify the cost of not being able to take head at compile time? )
The cost of not having this is probably ~10x slower for the tagsoup library :-( - i.e. pretty huge. I'm looking at other ways of doing this, perhaps using a preprocessor or something - which would be more robust than RULES and perhaps generalise in other nice ways. Thanks Neil
