> Do you mean system-filepath [1]?

No.  The api is ok, but performance is terrible because everything is a String.  Traversing large directories in Haskell is orders of magnitude slower than it should be (unless you use posix-paths, which obviously isn't portable).  I mean something that internally uses a RawFilePath on posix systems and some windows-specific thing on Windows.



I don't know how to reconcile this statement with how find-conduit was benchmarked to operate about as fast as GNU grep since it uses system-filepath. I am probably missing something important.
