Hey, according to http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/bytestring/0.10.2.0/doc/html/Dat... I can write: split '\n' "a\nb\nd\ne" Can I really do that? I don't know of a way to make a '\n' literal be a Word8, so maybe these Haddocks are wrong? I guess they would apply for Data.ByteString.Char8, but this is Data.ByteString. Or is there a way? Niklas

No, there is no way—you’d need an ‘OverloadedChars’ extension that does not exist. I think that text is meant to show the semantics of ‘split’ rather than being actual code. Francesco
