I've uploaded a new version to hackage incorporating suggestions from Joachim Breitner, Michael Snoyman and (offlist) Matthias Fischmann. The package now supplies (<>), a generic function for string concatenation. (Under ghc >= 7.4 this is a re-export from Data.Monoid to avoid name clashes.) Sönke Sönke Hahn wrote:
Hi all!
string-conversions is a very simple package to facilitate dealing with different string types. It provides a simple type class that allows you to convert between values of different string types. It also provides type synonyms for these string types.
Supported types are:
- String - Strict ByteString - Lazy ByteString - Strict Text - Lazy Text

Any comments welcome.
