Let's call this one proposal 0: and the others:
my program now uses 4 different encodings with a manual reeencoding between them. it seems that any proposal will break it - now it assumes that getChar function just reads 8-bit value and dress it into Char
Use openBinaryFile (or hSetBinaryMode) and your program will work with all compilers, both before and after this change.
really, i wonder. afaiu, the phrase "avoid success at any cost" has the same double meaning in English as in Russian and now, when Haskell got real chances to become widely adopted by industry, it seems that we try to avoid it... at any cost
I don't get it - aren't we improving things by providing support for non-Latin-1 encodings and unifying the compilers? Cheers, Simon
