A radical suggestion from an earlier discussion was to
make String a typeclass. Have unicode, ascii, etc. all
be representations.

The question that this brings up is does it require a
change from the Haskell language standard? The trickle
down implications from String into Char and
potentially List might have too high an impact for
this approach. 

Personally I think it's something that should be
considered in the long run.
