As a matter of pure speculation, how big an impact would it have if, in the next "version" of Haskell, Strings were represented as opaque types with appropriate functions to convert to and from [Char]? Would there be rioting in the streets?

What do you mean with this? Hopefully, not dropping Unicode support because this would be a very bad idea, IMHO.
