not in base, but see utf8-string on hackage.haskell.org.

Yes, this a decent layering of (2), on top of (1), for GHC only, depending on it to reading the bytes, and interpreting them as Latin-1.

Yeah, we can also layer it on Data.ByteString, which uses the FFI to avoid relying on any latin-1 behviour.

Actually, it uses hGetBuf, which is in base and already specified to return raw bytes. ================== hGet h i = createAndTrim i $ \p -> hGetBuf h p i ================== Stefan
