IMHO, someone should make a full proposal by implementing an alternative System.IO library that deals with all these encoding issues and implements H98 IO in terms of that.
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Streams already exists
Which would mean that we have streams to do character I/O, ByteString to do binary I/O, and System.IO to do, eh, something in between.
this means only that such proposal exists. i've worked on adding bytestream support too, but don't finished the work. at least it's possible. i hope that new i/o library will have modular design like this so it will be easy to add new features as 3rd-party libs -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
