Re: [Haskell-cafe] why does Data.Text.Lazy.IO.readFile return the internal type Data.Text.Lazy.Internal.Text, when Data.Text.IO.readFile returns plain IO Data.Text.Text?

Use id :: a -> a ;)

Not quite, there is still a distinction between Data.Text(.Internal).Text and Data.Text.Lazy(.Internal).Text.

but the machinery to work with the results he gets back are found in Data.Text.Lazy including the functions to turn it into a list of strict Text fragments.

...

also the internal type doesn't appear to be reflected in the haddock:

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/text/0.7.1.0/doc/html/Data-T ext-Lazy-IO.html

Follow the 'Source' link at Data.Text.Lazy.Text, that sends you to http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/text/0.7.1.0/doc/html/src/Data- Text-Lazy-Internal.html#Text

...

ghc-pkg list | grep -i text text-0.7.1.0

thanks for any help!
