you might also want to look at the new names in John's development branch, which seem to be closer to Oleg's usage:

Ah, that's much better! I anxiously await a new release. :-)

I've set a release date of August 25th.

Let us know if there's anything we can do to help you.  What remains to be implemented/tested?

The one module that needs a lot of work is the character-processing stuff. I don't do much of that sort of work myself, so if anyone could either make recommendations for a desired API, or code it and submit, I would be most appreciative. I have created a new list, iteratee@projects.haskell.org, which would probably be a better forum for discussion than libraries@haskell.org. Please subscribe if you're interested in iteratees; we can continue this discussion there.

If I remember correctly, the development branch is based on the CPS version of Iteratee, so existing code will have to be adjusted to it.

Yes. This may be easy, or not. The changes are most substantial if you wrote custom enumerators or did pattern matching on IterGVs. IMO the new code is usually cleaner and shorter, but it does take a bit of work to convert. Cheers, John
