cousins. For instance, breakSubstring is descriptive, and it's consistent with bytestring, but it's much longer than break, even though breaking on a fixed string is more common. In this case, length and frequency of use trump the other considerations in my mind.
I grepped the reverse deps of text looking for uses of text's break, to see what it was being used for, but didn't find any uses. It's possible I missed some in the noise, though (e.g. there are quite a lot of calls to Prelude's break; we really need tibbe's tool for this).
Duncan asked me about split and find. Again, human error could well be a factor here, but I found 2 uses, both of which could equally well use the Char version: estimators-0.1.4/NLP/Probability/Example/Trigram.hs: where words = ["*S1*", "*S2*"] ++ (T.split " " sentence) ++ ["*E1*", "*E2*"] estimators-0.1.4/NLP/Probability/Example/Trigram.hs: mconcat $ map makeTrigrams $ T.split "." $ T.pack sentences Also interesting is this, from MissingH-1.1.0.3/src/Data/List/Utils.hs: > split "," "foo,bar,,baz," -> ["foo", "bar", "", "baz", ""] > split "ba" ",foo,bar,,baz," -> [",foo,","r,,","z,"] split :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [[a]] I found no uses of find.
