of the Data.Text package on the basis that Char/Text are the "same" thing, then it may become clearer how to resolve the apparent name/type clashes below.
But this doesn't allow the multi-Char functions to be added to byetstring/List with the same name. For example:
split - - Text -> Text -> [Text] - - split Char -> Text -> [Text]
split - split Text -> Text -> [Text]
Proposal: these are equivalent, no action,
I can do split "\r\n" or split ", " etc with a text, but not with a bytestring, and if we agree to add that functionality to bytestring then we'll have to call it splitString or splitMany or some other, different, name. Thanks Ian
