To kick off the discussion focused on this narrow issue, Thomas and I would like to suggest a 3rd alternative option:
Option 3 --------
breakStr :: Text -> Text -> (Text, Text) breakChr :: (Char -> Bool) -> Text -> (Text, Text)
This give neither version the short name 'break', but gives both reasonably short names with a suffix to indicate the character predicate vs substring.
I think this is a good solution. With this option you can also include sub modules so users could choose between 1 and 2. That is, something like Data.Text -- doesn't preference (i.e., only Str and Chr suffixed ones) Data.Text.String -- reexports the *Str ones without the Str suffixes Data.Text.Char -- reexports the *Chr ones without the Chr suffixes Cheers! -Tyson
