Hello all, I'm in need of a Unicode normalization function, Utf8 NFC for ByteString in particular. From some quick Googling around it looks like the only available option is to use ICU in some form. The text-icu package has a nice binding to it, but unfortunately that means a lot of redundant conversions (Utf8 ByteString -> Text; Text -> Utf8 ByteString) and an additional rather large non-Haskell dependency[1]. Is ICU really the only available implementation of normalization? The TR15 doesn't really give a complete algorithm and only hints at the "numerous opportunities for optimization" implicit in the complexity of the spec. [1] Which is especially annoying on OSX since OSX does ship with libicu in a public location, but it doesn't provide header files and apparently it's incomplete somehow, meaning you'd have to reinstall it for text-icu to use (and hilarity ensues when your copy gets out of sync with the OS's). -- Live well, ~wren
