I know of an example off-hand: http://nominolo.blogspot.com/2007/05/networkhttp-bytestrings.html (Of course, as I read that, I see that the lazy code is different from the strict code, but I'll just ignore that for the sake of, uh, argument.)
Yes it does use different implementations, but the lazy interface has it's problems (leakage of handles, unclosed connections, and more). But what we really want is, as Duncan and Roman suggested, *one* standard, optimizable representation and conversions from and to it. This would work perfectly well with sockets.
I switched from lazy bytestrings to a left fold in my networking code after reading what Oleg wrote about streams vs folds. No problems with handles, etc. anymore. -- Johan
