Re: String != [Char]

I am starting up the proposal. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/ticket/143 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/OpaqueText Unfortunately I haven't had any time to work on this for the last week and won't for 2 more weeks. Your help is appreciated. I think the first step is to move list functions into a separate module for the Text package to see if we can get rid of name conflicts with the Prelude.

That's not what the standard says:

6.1.2 Characters and Strings

The character type Char is an enumeration whose values represent Unicode characters [2].
