I want a version of the Text.Regex library where the input is a character-based ByteString instead of a String. I haven't found one on hackage, although I'm not convinced I've looked exhaustively. (Every time I try to explore the regular expression libraries on Hackage, I end up in a maze of documentation, never sure precisely where I am or where I should be going.) It would be really helpful if there were a few English paragraphs somewhere explaining the high-level model provided by the various modules! I ended up taking a version of Text.Regex and making changes to produce a library that works for lazy character ByteStrings. Is that a reasonable thing to do? I'm going to make my software public soon, so I'll either need to release this modified library or swap my version out for a more standard one. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed? Kathleen
