Does anyone have any *objections* to introducing
System.IO.hGetWord8 :: Handle -> IO Word8 System.IO.hPutWord8 :: Word8 -> Handle -> IO Word8
(I prefer these names, please speak up if you prefer hGetByte/hPutByte instead, or something else like hGetOctet/hPutOctet).
Sounds good to me. can we please also add
readBinaryFile :: String -> IO [Word8] writeBinaryFile :: String -> [Word8] -> IO ()
me too but of course with FilePath instead of String
