Yes. And I'd be in favour of removing the class entirely. Just use a single ByteString type. I don't think the overloading buys us anything.
Which one should it use, lazy bytestring? I'm not particularly keen on removing the overloading as I don't think keeping it costs much for now and I kind of like the idea. We could even replace String with [Word8] though that seems rather pointless in practice. On the other hand if there's strong feelings in favour of removing it, now is a good opportunity since there'll be a breaking change anyway. Ganesh
