That isn't going to happen, but I take your point. Simon
But hasn't ghc just changed its IO (with regards to localisation)? If it can happen once it can happen again. Keean. Simon Marlow wrote:

You mean we're not going to fix it? Because right now it is broken. None of the compilers work correctly in reading/writing all of the Unicode characters. Some work for the iso-8859-1 subset, with that as the encoding. If we change them so that they do (in some encoding), then writing arbitrary bytes is no longer possible, short of FFI. -- Aaron Denney -><-
