Re: Proposal: Add {to, from}Strict conversion functions between strict and lazy ByteStrings

Just as a historical note, they were intentionally left out of the original bytestring library, as it was felt it would only encourage mixing up lazy and strict bytestrings, with resulting poor and confusing performance. It was intentional that you had to compose two functions to do this. -- Don On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 5:19 AM, Gregory Collins wrote:

In any case, +1 to adding these functions to the package. I don't know how many times I've written them by hand this way...

+1!! Same here -- I've written these functions, or their inline equivalents, hundreds of times.
