I don't think we should be encouraging the use of Data.Sequence for file paths. An opaque OS-specific structure seems like the natural choice
IMHO.
(Incidentally I'd like to develop this as a userland library, if anyone would step forward to help with the Windows-specific stuff)
Do you mean system-filepath [1]?
No. The api is ok, but performance is terrible because everything is a String. Traversing large directories in Haskell is orders of magnitude slower than it should be (unless you use posix-paths, which obviously isn't portable). I mean something that internally uses a RawFilePath on posix systems and some windows-specific thing on Windows.
