Apologies if I'm asking you to repeat yourself, but I couldn't find the explanation. What was the reason why you went with IterateeM instead of IterateeMCPS? Simplicity?
Iteratees are difficult enough to understand already -- requiring prospective users to learn and understand CPS would just be another roadblock. The CPS implementation is also slower -- I performed some basic benchmarking of IterateeM.hs and IterateeMCPS.hs, and CPS is only faster without optimizations. At -O, they are equal, and at -O2, IterateeM is faster.
