Re: Proposal: Merge network-bytestring into network

Hi all,

network-bytestring addresses two serious problems with the network package: performance and a semantically incorrect type for network data. Both problems are addressed by using ByteStrings instead of Strings in the types of e.g. recv and send. In addition, network-bytestring supports vectored I/O (also know as scatter/gather I/O) which yields better performance in many common use cases, such as HTTP servers.
