Why is all this GHC-only?

hunk ./System/IO.hs 186 +import GHC.Enum +import Data.Char (chr, charToUTF8Chars) hunk ./System/IO.hs 344 + [...] +hPutCharUTF8 :: Handle -> Char -> IO () +hPutCharUTF8 hndl c = hPutStr hndl $ map (chr.fromEnum) $ charToUTF8Chars c + [...] +putStrLnUTF8 = hPutStrLnUTF8 stdout +

If the earlier stuff really does need to be GHC-only, shouldn't this be too? Thanks Ian
