Have you looked at the stream-fusion package on Hackage? http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/stream- fusion-0.1.1
Yeah, I've seen this. It's nice that this is separated, but a little unsatisfying that the bytestring library reimplements it rather than just requiring it as a dependency. This, and the fact that bytestrings are way fast, while the stream-fusion stuff is sometimes slower than just using lists, make me think that either (1) there's sometimes an advantage in programming directly to streams, or (2) maybe more of the stream functions need to be exposed in the API. Or maybe there's another reason... that's part of my question. Chad
