The main example of course is ByteString fusion as presented in our recent paper: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/CSL06.html
btw, why did you restrict yourself to improving [Char], rather than [a]?
naively, it would seem to me that most of the framework should work just as well for the general case, with some additional improvements through specialising a to Char. and if that is the case, it hurts to think that there is a nice framework out there that i can't use unless my a is Char.

Fear not! Arbitrary arrays of 'a' are in the works, thanks to Roman's data parallel Haskell work. There's also already Storable a => Vector a, written for last year's SoC. Just needs some polishing. We should get around to that soon, I think. -- Don
