After convincing myself the hard way that you can't be lazy across strict monadic results (by writing myself a "foldrM" -- yeah, I'm still a beginner), I noticed the recent discussion of safe-lazy-io vs. iteratee with interest. The safe-lazy-io package seems much easier to understand than iteratee, but it doesn't compile on GHC 6.12 (and I haven't had any luck in figuring out how to update it myself). The Hackage build log shows the same build result I'm getting [1]; is there any chance of it getting updated to work on 6.12?
Right, updating it is on my todo list. However I have a little dilemma, safe-lazy-io has a local version of hGetContents because I needed a version which do not hide exceptions. However the latest version of hGetContents seems to no longer catch exceptions (am I right?), if so it might be preferable to just use the new hGetContents.
