As far as I can see, the naming incompatibilities between the 3 packages are the following:
text base bytestring type in text (or equivalent if absent) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- break - breakSubstring Text -> Text -> (Text, Text) breakBy break break (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> (Text, Text) breakEnd - - Text -> Text -> (Text, Text) - - breakEnd (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> (Text, Text) count - - Text -> Text -> Int - - count Char -> Text -> Int find - - Text -> Text -> [(Text, Text)] findBy find find (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> Maybe Char partitionBy partition - (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> (Text, Text) replicate - - Int -> Text -> Text - replicate replicate Int -> Char -> Text spanBy span span (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> (Text, Text) split - - Text -> Text -> [Text] - - split Char -> Text -> [Text] splitBy - splitWith (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> [Text] unfoldrN - - Int -> (a -> Maybe (Char, a)) -> a -> Text - - unfoldrN Int -> (a -> Maybe (Char, a)) -> a -> (Text, Maybe a) zipWith zipWith - (Char -> Char -> Char) -> Text -> Text -> Text - zipWith zipWith (Char -> Char -> a) -> Text -> Text -> [a]
* The -By suffix has been used for predicate versions in 5 cases here, but not for filter and findIndex. * The find function has no connection with findBy. It ought to have a name that is the plural of the name of the break function.
Given text's focus on subsequences rather than single elements these differences make sense to me after a quick first scan.
