Does anyone have any *objections* to introducing

System.IO.hGetWord8 :: Handle -> IO Word8 System.IO.hPutWord8 :: Word8 -> Handle -> IO Word8

Sorry, I didn't follow the thread ... what about System.IO.hPutWord8 :: Handle -> Word8 -> IO () that is, switched argument order and no result

duh, sorry. Yes, that's the right type.

Will there be function names without 'h' prefix but qualification in future, e.g. System.IO.Binary.Handle.putWord8 ?

I think this is something for the next-generation I/O library. Cheers, Simon
