The other important point regarding ADT's is what is a FilePath and what is a String? If I set the extension of a FilePath, is that extension itself a FilePath or a String? What if I set the drive or the filename? Is a filename on its own a FilePath? Even though it doesn't correspond to a file, because its lost its context/directory and therefore cannot be used?
I wonder if it would be better to have an ADT for strings rather than FilePaths (to solve the issues above and also for general use in other Haskell libs).
