sorry for repetition, but ByteString library in its current state still don't replaces PackedString in functionality, because it don't support full Unicode range of chars
What would be required for it to replace PackedString? (If that is a goal?) If I understand correctly, PS is an array of Word32, and ByteString is (obviously) an array of Word8. Would it be sufficient if there was a 'Char' interface supporting all of Unicode (the obvious candidate encoding being UTF-8), or must it support UCS-2 and UCS-4 directly? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
