How about moving parsec-3 to a new name, and bumping parsec-2 to version 4?

the performance should be much better and comparable to Parsec 2
Even with the recent release of Parsec 3.1, I'd prefer Parsec 3 be given a new name (ParsecT?) and we bump parsec-2 to version 4. It's great the two projects implement the same interface, but to call it Version 3 is basically to say that Version 2 is obsolete, which I don't think is necessarily true. I personally use Parsec 2 simply because its documentation is outstanding and I understand the implementation well. Would you guys be willing to change the name in Hackage? Thanks, Greg
