But that does raise the issue: if we are to (eventually) remove the string versions and put the bytestring versions in situ, then how should the migration proceed? I'd suggest putting the functions in System.Posix.IO.ByteString for the interim; this has the benefit that I could release a compatibility library allowing people to upgrade without changing their GHC, if need be.
It occurs to me that, if we're going to remove String versions, it should happen everywhere and in a coordinated way.
What is the benefit from removing String versions (as opposed to just adding ByteString (and/or Text) ones alongside them)?
